fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.
Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

sysfs-writable charp arguments need to be locked against modification
(since the old ones may be kfreed underneath us). String arguments
are much simpler, so use them for small strings (eg. IFNAMSIZ).
lkdtm only uses the parameters at module initialization time, so there's
not much point making them writable.

This patch (as1393) converts several of the single-bit fields in
struct usb_hcd to atomic flags. This is for safety's sake; not all
CPUs can update bitfield values atomically, and these flags are used
in multiple contexts.
The flag fields that are set only during registration or removal can
remain as they are, since non-atomic accesses at those times will not
cause any problems.
(Strictly speaking, the authorized_default flag should become atomic
as well. I didn't bother with it because it gets changed only via
sysfs. It can be done later, if anyone wants.)

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/nilfs2/super.c
Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers. This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.
In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:
spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above
In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

This ports lirc_streamzap.c over to ir-core in-place, to be followed by
a patch moving the driver over to drivers/media/IR/streamzap.c and
enabling the proper Kconfig bits.
Presently, the in-kernel keymap doesn't work, as the stock Streamzap
remote uses an RC-5-like, but not-quite-RC-5 protocol, which the
in-kernel RC-5 decoder doesn't cope with. The remote can be used right
now with the lirc bridge driver though, and other remotes (at least an
RC-6(A) MCE remote) work perfectly with the driver.
I'll take a look at making the existing RC-5 decoder cope with this odd
duck, possibly implement another standalone decoder engine, or just
throw up my hands and say "meh, use lirc"... But the driver itself
should be perfectly sound.
Remaining items on the streamzap TODO list:
- add LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT-alike support
- add LIRC_GET_M{AX,IN}_TIMEOUT-alike support
- add LIRC_GET_REC_RESOLUTION-alike support
All of the above should be trivial to add. There are patches pending to
add this support to ir-core from Maxim Levitsky, and I'll take care of
these once his patches get integrated. None of them are currently
essential though.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
