ARM: Allow SoCs to enable scatterlist chaining

Allow SoCs to enable the scatterlist chaining support, which allows
scatterlist tables to be broken up into smaller allocations.

As support for this feature depends on the implementation details of
the users of the scatterlists, we can't enable this globally without
auditing all the users, which is a very big task.  Instead, let SoCs
progressively switch over to using this.

SoC drivers using scatterlists and SoC DMA implementations need
auditing before this option can be enabled for the SoC.

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.

[PATCH, v9 1/3] hrtimer: introduce effective timer slack

task_get_effective_timer_slack() returns timer slack value to be used
to configure per-task timers. It can be equal or higher than task's
timer slack value.

For now task_get_effective_timer_slack() returns timer_slack_ns of the
task. Timer slack cgroup controller will implement a bit more
sophisticated logic.

[PATCH, v9 3/3] cgroups: introduce timer slack controller

Every task_struct has timer_slack_ns value. This value uses to round up
poll() and select() timeout values. This feature can be useful in
mobile environment where combined wakeups are desired.

Originally, prctl() was the only way to change timer slack value of
a process. So you was not able change timer slack value of another
process.

cgroup subsys "timer_slack" implements timer slack controller. It
provides a way to set minimal timer slack value for a group of tasks.
If a task belongs to a cgroup with minimal timer slack value higher than
task's value, cgroup's value will be applied.

Timer slack controller allows to implement setting timer slack value of
a process based on a policy. For example, you can create foreground and
background cgroups and move tasks between them based on system state.
