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.

sched: fix init NOHZ_IDLE flag

On my smp platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I have the
nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is not null when the
platform is fully idle. The root cause seems to be:
During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their
NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus
field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy
state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag.
We set the NOHZ_IDLE flag when nr_busy_cpus is initialized to 0 in order to
have a coherent configuration.
If set_cpu_sd_state_idle is called during the buld of the new sched_domain it
will not crrupt the initial state
set_cpu_sd_state_busy is modified and clear the NOHZ_IDLE only if a non NULL
sched_domain is attached to the CPU.

kthread_worker: reorganize to prepare for flush_kthread_work() reimplementation

Make the following two non-functional changes.

* Separate out insert_kthread_work() from queue_kthread_work().

* Relocate struct kthread_flush_work and kthread_flush_work_fn()
  definitions above flush_kthread_work().

v2: Added lockdep_assert_held() in insert_kthread_work() as suggested
    by Andy Walls.
