af_unix: speedup /proc/net/unix

/proc/net/unix has quadratic behavior, and can hold unix_table_lock for
a while if high number of unix sockets are alive. (90 ms for 200k
sockets...)

We already have a hash table, so its quite easy to use it.

Problem is unbound sockets are still hashed in a single hash slot
(unix_socket_table[UNIX_HASH_TABLE])

This patch also spreads unbound sockets to 256 hash slots, to speedup
both /proc/net/unix and unix_diag.

Time to read /proc/net/unix with 200k unix sockets :
(time dd if=/proc/net/unix of=/dev/null bs=4k)

before : 520 secs
after : 2 secs

ARM: compressed/head.S: work around new binutils warning

In August 2012, Matthew Gretton-Dann checked a change
into binutils labelled "Error on obsolete & warn on
deprecated registers", apparently as part of ARMv8
support. Apparently, this was supposed to emit
the message "Warning: This coprocessor register access
is deprecated in ARMv8" when using certain mcr/mrc
instructions and building for ARMv8. Unfortunately,
the message that is actually emitted appears to be
'(null)', which is less helpful in comparison.

Even more unfortunately, this is biting us on
every single kernel build with a new gas, because
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S and some other files
in that directory are built with -march=all since
kernel commit 80cec14a8 "[ARM] Add -march=all to
assembly file build in arch/arm/boot/compressed"
back in v2.6.28.

This patch reverts Russell's nice solution and
replaces it with a more complex one that sprinkles
.arch statements inside of the head.S file in
functions that are executed in different architecture
levels, which seems to solve the original problem
just as well, and gets rid of the new one, too.

Without this patch, building anything results in:

block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are available

In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them
for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as
writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance.

Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe
to get a decent async write performance.

This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk
from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of
streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync
IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.
