IS_SYNC inode
Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use
it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync
write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function.
Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.

generic_file_aio_write_nolock() is now used only by block devices and raw
character device. Filesystems should use __generic_file_aio_write() in case
generic_file_aio_write() doesn't suit them. So rename the function to
blkdev_aio_write() and move it to fs/blockdev.c.

Use the new helper. We have to submit data pages ourselves in case of O_SYNC
write because __generic_file_aio_write does not do it for us. OCFS2 developpers
might think about moving the sync out of i_mutex which seems to be easily
possible but that's out of scope of this patch.

Use new helper __generic_file_aio_write(). Since the fs takes care of syncing
by itself afterwards, there are no more changes needed.

generic_file_buffered_write()
generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() called
generic_osync_inode() if it was called on O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode. But
this is superfluous since generic_file_aio_write() does the syncing as well.
Also XFS and OCFS2 which call these functions directly handle syncing
themselves. So let's have a single place where syncing happens:
generic_file_aio_write().
We slightly change the behavior by syncing only the range of file to which the
write happened for buffered writes but that should be all that is required.

Rename __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() to __generic_file_aio_write(), add
comments to write helpers explaining how they should be used and export
__generic_file_aio_write() since it will be used by some filesystems.

This simple helper saves some filesystems conversion from byte offset
to page numbers and also makes the fdata* interface more complete.

Remove one and also get rid of the last hard_smp_processor_id() leftover.

Currently, when a tape device is set online and no cartridge is loaded, we
get the messages "The tape cartridge has been successfully unloaded" and
"Determining the size of the recorded area". These messages are not correct.
To fix this, we now print the "cartridge loaded/unloaded" messages only,
when the load/unload event really occurs. In addition to that, the message
"Determining the size of the recorded area" is only printed, if a cartridge
is loaded.

"lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when
lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been
called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't
initialized yet.
However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer
isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries.
lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot
happen.
A write access to some random memory region is the result.
Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early.

Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:
Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)
[<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94
[<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4

[<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2
The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
pmd_free().
On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.
Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.
The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

Currently in the suspend process checksums for the XPRAM partitions are
created and stored. During the resume process it is checked,
if the checksums are still the same. If this is not the case, a kernel panic
is triggered. Unfortunately this prevents XPRAM from beeing used as suspend
device, because in this case after the checksum has been created, the
memory image is written to XPRAM and therefore the contents of the suspend
partition is changed. In order to allow XPRAM to be used as suspend device,
this patch removes the checksum validation.

The vmur class is allocated after the CCW driver is registered
and it is destroyed before the CCW driver is unregistered.
This is not the correct sequence, because the vmur class can be used
via driver core callbacks that are triggered during the CCW driver
deregistration. For Example:
1. vmur device is online
2. vmur module is unloaded
This leads to the following function call stack:
<4> [<0000000000387286>] device_destroy+0x36/0x5c
<4> [<000003e000209714>] ur_set_offline_force+0x9c/0x10c [vmur]
<4> [<000003e00020a928>] ur_remove+0x64/0xbc [vmur]
<4> [<00000000003e4d2e>] ccw_device_remove+0x42/0x1ac
<4> [<000000000038a1aa>] __device_release_driver+0x9a/0xe4
<4> [<000000000038a2da>] driver_detach+0xe6/0xec
<4> [<0000000000388ee4>] bus_remove_driver+0xc0/0x108
<4> [<000003e00020ad5a>] ur_exit+0x52/0x84 [vmur]
In device_destroy() the vmur class is used. Since it is already freed,
this can lead to a kernel panic.
To fix the problem, the vmur class has to be allocated before the CCW
driver is registered and destroyed after the CCW driver has ben unregistered.
