msm: Allow lowmem to be non contiguous and mixed.

Any image that is expected to have a lifetime of
the entire system can give the virtual address
space back for use in vmalloc.

crypto: msm: Fix Uninitialized flags

Due to uninitialized "flags" field in the request structure,
incorrect choices are made in the qce driver layer with
regards to setting crypto hardware registers.

Initializing the flags fixes this incorrect setting of the
registers.

net: flow: Prevent bringing up new CPUs during per-CPU initialization

In a rare race-condition, it's possible that a CPU will be brought
online between when the for_each_online_cpu() loop executes to
call flow_cache_cpu_prepare(), and when the hotplug notifier for
calling this same function is registered. If this happens,
flow_cache_cpu_prepare() will never be called for the new CPU,
resulting in crashes due to uninitialized per-cpu data.

Fix this by preventing CPUs from being added or removed during
this small but sensitive window.

watchdog: Fix warning caused by use of smp_processor_id()

watchdog driver creates per-cpu kernel threads that are bound to
separate cpus. Use of smp_processor_id() by such threads in
__touch_watchdog() is perfectly fine, as they are generally pinned to
the cpu on which they are running.

During cpu offline event, however, affinity for the watchdog thread
bound to dying cpu is broken before it is killed. There is a small
time window between affinity broken and thread dying in which thread
can run on a cpu with its affinity not set to that cpu exclusively.
This will trigger a warning from use of smp_processor_id(), which is
harmless in this case as it will provide the required heartbeat on cpu
where it is running and moreover that thread will be shortly killed.

Mute the harmless warning by use of raw_smp_processor_id() in
__touch_watchdog(). This seems less intrusive fix than killing threads
in CPU_DOWN_PREPARE event handler.

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      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.
