This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
by Andi Kleen.
The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
the file system can probably be done with the significant
restrictions.
The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
code, sincen Mikulas has indicated that he is still
interested in fixing it in a better way.

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT
This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
(which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Reformat hpfs_notify_change to standard kernel style to make it readable
and rename it to hpfs_setattr as that's what the method is called.

hpfs_unlink() calls permission() prior to truncating the file. HPFS
doesn't define a .permission method, so replace with explicit call to
generic_permission().
This is equivalent, except that devcgroup_inode_permission() and
security_inode_permission() are not called.
The truncation is just an implementation detail of the unlink, so
these security checks are unnecessary.
I suspect that even calling generic_permission() is unnecessary, since
we shouldn't mind if the file isn't writable. But I leave that to the
maintainer to decide.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Some filesystems, instead of simply decrementing i_nlink, simply zero it
during an unlink operation. We need to catch these in addition to the
decrement operations.

This is mostly included for parity with dec_nlink(), where we will have some
more hooks. This one should stay pretty darn straightforward for now.

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.
We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.
So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

Same as with already do with the file operations: keep them in .rodata and

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
