block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow

    block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as mapped

exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it loops
infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the disk to
become uptodate.  The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich
here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54, and also reported
independently here:
http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511, and then
Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate bugzillas also
associated with the same issue.

The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:

        for (;;) {
                struct buffer_head * bh;
                int ret;
                bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
                if (bh)
                        return bh;
                ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
                if (ret < 0)
                        return NULL;
                if (ret == 0)
                        free_more_memory();
        }
__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page.  I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding.  However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk.  So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).

The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.

Comments, as always, are appreciated.

 sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely thro.

.ttled

Speaking of old "parches" lying about, the below fixes a real problem if
you're using either 'should die' isolcpus or 'should work' cpusets to
isolate cores.

sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled

Root task group bandwidth replenishment must service all CPUs, regardless of
where the timer was last started, and regardless of the isolation mechanism,
lest 'Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"' become rt scheduling policy.

block/sio: tweak for better performance
fuse: add basic support of iovec[] to fuse_req

The patch allows fuse_req to refer to array of iovec-s describing
layout of user-data over req->pages. fuse_copy_pages() is re-worked to
support both cased: former layout where pages[] corresponded to <buf, len>
and newer one where pages[] corresponds to iovec[].

fuse: re-work fuse_get_user_pages() to operate on iovec[]

Now fuse_get_user_pages() takes iovec[] as argument and packs so much data
from it to req->pages[] as possible.

fuse: re-work fuse_direct_io() to operate on iovec[]

The patch transparently passes iovec[] argument from fuse_direct_io()
to fuse_get_user_pages() hoping that the latter would fill req with
some part of iovec[].

fs/dyn_sync_cntrl: dynamic sync control

The dynamic sync control interface uses Android kernel's unique early
suspend / lat resume interface.

While screen is on, file sync is disabled
when screen is off, a file sync is called to flush all outstanding writes
and restore file sync operation as normal.
