mm: Dynamic management of dirty page writebacks

This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.

Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
- "dynamic_dirty_writeback" is the activation status of this feature,
  set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
- "dirty_writeback_active_centisecs" is the interval for the dirty page
  writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
- "dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs" is the interval for the dirty page
  writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)

This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:

kernel: cgroup_timer_slack: Dynamic management of timer slack

This feature allows to use different minimal timer slack values and to
dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active)
or when has been suspended.

A new file is provided in addition to the two files provided by the
original timer slack controller:
- "timer_slack.min_slack_suspend_ns" is the minimal timer slack value
  to use when the system is suspended (screen off)

For further info, please refers to the timer slack documentation:

ARM: 7746/1: mm: lazy cache flushing on non-mapped pages

Currently flush_dcache_page() thinks pages as non-mapped if
mapping_mapped(mapping) return false. This approach is very
coase:
	- mmap on part of file may cause all pages backed on
	the file being thought as mmaped

	- file-backed pages aren't mapped into user space actually
	if the memory mmaped on the file isn't accessed

This patch uses page_mapped() to decide if the page has been
mapped.

From the attached test code, I find there is much performance
improvement(>25%) when accessing page caches via read under this
situations, so memcpy benefits a lot from not flushing cache
under this situation.

to read the file from page caches basically.
2), file size is 512M, and is on ext4 over usb mass storage.

sync: allow async waits to be canceled

In order to allow drivers to cleanly handled teardown we need to allow them
to cancel pending async waits.  To do this cleanly, we move allocation of
sync_fence_waiter to the driver calling sync_async_wait().

sync: reorder sync_fence_release

Previously fence's pts were freed before the were the fence was removed from the
global fence list.  This led to a race with the debugfs support where it would
iterate over sync_pts that had been freed.

If the two fences being merged contain sync_pts from the same timeline,
those two pts will be collapsed into a single pt representing the latter

sync: add internal refcounting to fences

If a fence is released while a timeline that one of it's pts is on is being
signaled, it is possible for that fence to be deleted before it is signaled.
This patch adds a refcount for internal references such as signaled pt
processing.
