msm: cpufreq: make the gov stop part fully atomic

In the function cpufreq_governor_dbs, the case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP
is not completely atomic. The removal of sysfs is outside the
critical path. If a START/STOP done frequently from user space
then there is chance of adding the sysfs interface before removal.
This creates a warning from sysfs saying creating an already
existing entry.

Also once it fails to create, cpufreq_governor_dbs returns with
error code. The dbs_enable value is incremented which is not
rolled back and cpufreq core tries to set the old
governor. This might create further problems.

Hence the removal of sysfs entry should happen in the critical
path.

cpufreq: ondemand: Set MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20

Currently MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER is set defined as 100 and so on a system with
transition latency of 1 ms, the minimum sampling time comes to be around 100 ms.
That is quite big if you want to get better performance for your system.

Redefine MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20 so that we can support 20ms sampling rate
for such platforms.

cpufreq: Fix optimal_freq logic on ramp down

When ondemand governor decides to ramp down the frequency, the missing
check for frequency being lower than optimal_freq was causing frequency
to be ramped down to optimal_freq even if the frequency decided by ondemand
governor was higher.

cpufreq: ondemand: Fix store_powersave_bias() race with hotplug

store_powersave_bias() assumes that CPUs will not be taken offline or
brought online while executing its for_each_online_cpu() loops. Fix
this race by blocking hotplug while executing in these loop.

cpufreq: ondemand: Fix locking in store_powersave_bias

store_powersave_bias() assumes that dbs_info->cur_policy will
not change while it is executing. If it does, memory corruption
can potentially result. Fix this by acquiring the dbs_lock.

Most noticeably, this resolves timer-related list corruptions
encountered when queue_delayed_work_on() is called from within
store_powersave_bias() while a CPU is being hotplugged in and
out.

nohz: Fix idle ticks in cpu summary line of /proc/stat

Git commit 09a1d34f8535ecf9 "nohz: Make idle/iowait counter update
conditional" introduced a bug in regard to cpu hotplug. The effect is
that the number of idle ticks in the cpu summary line in /proc/stat is
still counting ticks for offline cpus.

Reproduction is easy, just start a workload that keeps all cpus busy,
switch off one or more cpus and then watch the idle field in top.
On a dual-core with one cpu 100% busy and one offline cpu you will get
something like this:

%Cpu(s): 48.7 us,  1.3 sy,  0.0 ni, 50.0 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,
%0.0 st

The problem is that an offline cpu still has ts->idle_active == 1.
To fix this we should make sure that the cpu is online when calling
get_cpu_idle_time_us and get_cpu_iowait_time_us.

vfs: dcache: fix deadlock in tree traversal

IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent().  This was found to be caused
by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
traversal.

There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:

 1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
    since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().

 2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
    to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
    can happen when already locked.

Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
when rename_lock is already held.  This patch fixes all three callers of
try_to_ascend().

IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.

[ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
  lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.

freezer: add unsafe versions of freezable helpers for NFS

NFS calls the freezable helpers with locks held, which is unsafe
and will cause lockdep warnings when 6aa9707 "lockdep: check
that no locks held at freeze time" is reapplied (it was reverted
in dbf520a).  NFS shouldn't be doing this, but it has
long-running syscalls that must hold a lock but also shouldn't
block suspend.  Until NFS freeze handling is rewritten to use a
signal to exit out of the critical section, add new *_unsafe
versions of the helpers that will not run the lockdep test when
6aa9707 is reapplied, and call them from NFS.

In practice the likley result of holding the lock while freezing
is that a second task blocked on the lock will never freeze,
aborting suspend, but it is possible to manufacture a case using
the cgroup freezer, the lock, and the suspend freezer to create
a deadlock.  Silencing the lockdep warning here will allow
problems to be found in other drivers that may have a more
serious deadlock risk, and prevent new problems from being added.
