misc: uidstat: avoid create_stat() race and blockage.

* create_stat() race would lead to:
  [   58.132324] proc_dir_entry 'uid_stat/10061' already registered

* blocking kmalloc reported by sbranden
 tcp_read_sock()
  uid_stat_tcp_rcv()
    create_stat()
      kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)

ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault.  Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex.  The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.

The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls.  Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.

cpufreq: interactive: handle errors from cpufreq_frequency_table_target

Add checks for error return from cpufreq_frequency_table_target, and be
less noisy on the existing call with an error check.  CPU hotplug and
system shutdown may cause this call to return -EINVAL.

cpufreq: interactive: reduce chance of zero time delta on load eval

Reschedule load sampling timer after timestamp of sample start taken,
hold spinlock across entire sequence to avoid preemption.  Avoid the
WARN for zero time delta in the load sampling timer function.

cpufreq: interactive: avoid underflow on active time calculation

cpufreq: interactive: fix race on cpufreq TRANSITION notifier

The cpufreq TRANSTION notifier callback does not check the
governor_enabled state on affected CPUS, which will case
kernel panic in update_load because the policy object maybe
NULL or invalid when governor_enabled is false.

cpufreq: interactive: resched timer if max freq raised

When the policy max freq is raised, and before the timer is
rescheduled in idle callback, the cpu freq may stuck at a
lower freq.

The target_freq shall be updated too, else on a high load
situation, the new_freq is always equal to target_freq and
which will cause freq stuck at a lower freq too.

Reschedule the timer on gov limits callback.

block: row: change hrtimer_cancel to hrtimer_try_to_cancel

Calling hrtimer_cancel with interrupts disabled can result in a livelock.
When flushing plug list in the block layer interrupts are disabled and an
hrtimer is used when adding requests from that plug list to the scheduler.
In this code flow, if the hrtimer (which is used for idling) is set, it's
being canceled by calling hrtimer_cancel. hrtimer_cancel will perform
the following in an endless loop:
1. try cancel the timer
2. if fails - rest_cpu
the cancellation can fail if the timer function already started. Since
interrupts are disabled it can never complete.
This patch reduced the number of times the hrtimer lock is taken while
interrupts are disabled by calling hrtimer_try_co_cancel. the later will
try to cancel the timer just once and return with an error code if fails.
