ext4: Speedup WB_SYNC_ALL pass called from sync(2)

When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction
commit (or synchronously write inode buffer) separately for each inode
because ext4_sync_fs() takes care of forcing commit at the end (VFS
takes care of flushing buffer cache, respectively). Most of the time
this slowness doesn't manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback
doesn't leave much to write but when there are processes aggressively
creating new files and several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness
can be noticeable. In the following test script sync(1) takes around 6
minutes when there are two ext4 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA
drive. After this patch sync takes a couple of seconds so we have about
two orders of magnitude improvement.

      function run_writers
      {
        for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
          mkdir $1/dir$i
          for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
            dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null
          done &
        done
      }

      for dir in "$@"; do
        run_writers $dir
      done

      sleep 40
      time sync

prima: reduce rx wakelock

__fls(mask) is equivalent to find_last_bit(&mask, BITS_PER_LONG), but cheaper.
find_last_bit was showing up high on the list when I was profiling for stalls
on icache misses on a system with very small cache size (MIPS).

ARM: topology: remove hwid/MPIDR dependency from cpu_capacity

Currently the topology code computes cpu capacity and stores it in
the list along with hwid(which is MPIDR) as it parses the CPU nodes
in the device tree. This is required as it needs to be mapped to the
logical CPU later.

Since the CPU device nodes can be retrieved in the logical ordering
using DT/OF helpers, its possible to store cpu_capacity also in logical
ordering and avoid storing hwid for each entry.

This patch removes hwid by making use of of_get_cpu_node.

ARM: 7920/1: topology: Staticise non-exported symbols

These symbols are only referenced in this source file so can be made
static, and the efficiency table is constant data so can be declared as
such.  This avoids polluting the global namespace and fixes warnings
from sparse.

The function arch_scale_freq_power() is still not prototyped or static,
this is a separate issue as this is overriding a weak symbol from the
scheduler which neglects to provide a prototype.

of: move of_get_cpu_node implementation to DT core library

This patch moves the generalized implementation of of_get_cpu_node from
PowerPC to DT core library, thereby adding support for retrieving cpu
node for a given logical cpu index on any architecture.

The CPU subsystem can now use this function to assign of_node in the
cpu device while registering CPUs.

It is recommended to use these helper function only in pre-SMP/early
initialisation stages to retrieve CPU device node pointers in logical
ordering. Once the cpu devices are registered, it can be retrieved easily
from cpu device of_node which avoids unnecessary parsing and matching.

sysfs: Add crash_notes_size to export percpu note size

For percpu notes, we are exporting only address and not size. So
the userspace tool kexec-tools is putting an upper limit of 1024
and putting the value in p_memsz and p_filesz fields. So the patch
add the new sysfile crash_notes_size to export the exact percpu
note size and let the kexec-tools parse it intead of using 1024.

The idea came from Vivek Goyal. And a later patch will be sent to
kexec-tools to let it parse the size.
