n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode

The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST.  And since
it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
writers:
* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
* pty_write from the process
race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.
If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
  int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
  struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail;
  ...
  memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space);
  ...
  tb->used += space;
so the race of the two can result in something like this:
              A                                B
__tty_buffer_request_room
                                  __tty_buffer_request_room
memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...)
tb->used += space;
                                  memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM
B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used
increment.
Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
serialize echo output with normal tty writes.  This ensures the tty
buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
everything is fine.
Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
present in kernels at least after commit
d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.
js: add more info to the commit log
js: switch to bool
js: lock unconditionally
js: lock only the tty->ops->write call

fs/super.c: sync ro remount after blocking writers

Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly().  If writers
sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after
sys_mount() has completely successfully.

This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears
that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

cpufreq: interactive: Move definition of cpufreq_gov_interactive downwards

This moves definition of cpufreq_gov_interactive towards the bottom of file, so
that we don't have to add prototype of cpufreq_governor_interactive() in the
beginning of file.

cpufreq: interactive: fix compiling warnings

The gcc warns like:

  cpufreq_interactive.c:745:6: warning: operation on 'ret' may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]

It was introduced by commit cf0fad49d17cb8273ce555dd5b7afab67d7923bf.

Since sprintf(...) just return 1 (one character) in this case, ret should not changed.
Just discarding the result of sprintf(...) leads to the result that
the committer of cf0fad49d17cb8273ce555dd5b7afab67d7923bf wants.

cpufreq: interactive: prevent the target_freq to be boosted on thread migration if the source and target cpu are the same. Also don't set the floor_freq and time on thread migration, as we don't want it to go through the min_sample_time code routine, because that's used for more sustained hispeed_freq boosts.

  * clean it up to remove clutter on the main function
  * move all the hard-work to the cpu_revive and cpu_smash wrappers
for code clarity
  * for load spikes instead of relying on a single sample on 100% load
the counter needs to be >= 2 to avoid spurious online calls
