Revert a bunch of 3.4.38 patches because something in here creates bootloops, it compiles but refuses to boot
Downside of HTC removing all the comments in kernel is that it is hard to patch it upstream.. which makes problems like this harder :(
sync: don't block the flusher thread waiting on IO

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.

We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

Effect of sync on fsmark before the patch:

     0       880000         4096       1282.7          1054367
     0       960000         4096       3951.3           918773
     0      1040000         4096      40646.2           996448
     0      1120000         4096      43610.1           895647
     0      1200000         4096      40333.1           921048

And a single sync pass took:

  real    0m52.407s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.090s

After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
workload takes roughly 7s:

  real    0m6.930s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.039s

IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an
adverse impact on ongoing async data write operations.

cpufreq: ondemand: Fix update_sampling_rate race with hotplug

update_sampling_rate has a for loop which goes through each
online cpu and possibly queue up the ondemand work for them.
But while doing this it doesnt take any hotplug lock which
could potentially cause a race condition where ondemand work
is queued after the hotplug code (which sets the policy to NULL)
in the governor has cancelled any pending work. This could cause
a crash while trying to access the NULL policy in dbs_check_cpu.

Protecting the for_each_online_cpu loop with get_online_cpus()
and put_online_cpus().

cpufreq: ondemand: Boost CPU frequency only for touch input

Originally CPU frequency were boosted for any input event.
In some case, sensor sends a lot of input event, which
keep CPU in high frequency.  CPU frequency only need to
be boosted when real user interaction happens.
