cpufreq: force cpuN policy to match cpu0 when changing freq or gov
cpufreq: Manage only online cpus

cpufreq core doesn't manage offline cpus and if driver->init() has returned
mask including offline cpus, it may result in unwanted behavior by cpufreq core
or governors.

We need to get only online cpus in this mask. There are two places to fix this
mask, cpufreq core and cpufreq driver. It makes sense to do this at common place
and hence is done in core.

cpufreq: Optimize cpufreq_frequency_table_verify()

cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() is rewritten here to make it more logical
and efficient.
 - merge multiple lines for variable declarations together.
 - quit early if any frequency between min/max is found.
 - don't call cpufreq_verify_within_limits() in case any valid freq is
   found as it is of no use.
 - rename the count variable as found and change its type to boolean.

cpufreq: add new routine cpufreq_verify_within_cpu_limits()

Most of the users of cpufreq_verify_within_limits() calls it for
limiting with min/max from policy->cpuinfo. We can make that code
simple by introducing another routine which will do this for them
automatically.

This patch adds another routine cpufreq_verify_within_cpu_limits()
and updates others to use it.

block: recursive merge requests

In a workload, thread 1 accesses a, a+2, ..., thread 2 accesses a+1, a+3,....
When the requests are flushed to queue, a and a+1 are merged to (a, a+1), a+2
and a+3 too to (a+2, a+3), but (a, a+1) and (a+2, a+3) aren't merged.

If we do recursive merge for such interleave access, some workloads throughput
get improvement. A recent worload I'm checking on is swap, below change
boostes the throughput around 5% ~ 10%.

sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() bouncing cow syndrome

If the previous CPU is cache affine and idle, select it.

The current implementation simply traverses the sd_llc domain,
taking the first idle CPU encountered, which walks buddy pairs
hand in hand over the package, inflicting excruciating pain.

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.

readahead: make context readahead more conservative

This helps performance on moderately dense random reads on SSD.

Transaction-Per-Second numbers provided by Taobao:

		QPS	case
		-------------------------------------------------------
		7536	disable context readahead totally
w/ patch:	7129	slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read
		6717	slower size rampup
w/o patch:	5581	unmodified context readahead

Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen
to read N recently.  After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three*
random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2.  The probability of this
happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very
dense, which actually deserves some readahead.

Also start with a smaller readahead window.  The impact to interleaved
sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the
small readahead window rampup phase is negletable.

The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD
whose seek cost is pretty high.  However as SSD is increasingly used for
random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate
on interleaved sequential reads.

Another SSD rand read test from Miao

        # file size:        2GB
        # read IO amount: 625MB
        sysbench --test=fileio          \
                --max-requests=10000    \
                --num-threads=1         \
                --file-num=1            \
                --file-block-size=64K   \
                --file-test-mode=rndrd  \
                --file-fsync-freq=0     \
                --file-fsync-end=off    run

shows the performance of btrfs grows up from 69MB/s to 121MB/s, ext4 from
104MB/s to 121MB/s.
