staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v3)

This changes the log initialization to be dynamic, but still
at boot time.  These changes are a predecessor to implementing
runtime allocation and freeing of logs, to make the Android logger
less hard-coded.

Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list.  Return proper error numbers on log
allocation failure.

Staging: Android: logger: module_exit implementation

This patch creates the module_exit for the android logger
so that it can be loaded and unloaded as a module.

The android logger is already declared as a tristate in the
Kconfig but the module_exit function was missing.

device_initcall works also with modprobe since include/linux/init.h:

 #define module_init(x)  __initcall(x);
 ...
 #define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)

staging: android: logger: Correct write offset reset on error

In the situation that a writer fails to copy data from userspace it will reset
the write offset to the value it had before it went to sleep. This discarding
any messages written while aquiring the mutex.

Therefore the reset offset needs to be retrieved after acquiring the mutex.

aio: fs: don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit()

Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels.
By removing the plug from do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.
