fs: block_page_mkwrite should wait for writeback to finish

For filesystems such as nilfs2 and xfs that use block_page_mkwrite, modify that
function to wait for pending writeback before allowing the page to become
writable.  This is needed to stabilize pages during writeback for those two
filesystems.

1.  This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on.

shows.  The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but
it's a good start.

I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms

computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes.
There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call.

A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size.
 In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory

oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100%
load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content.  Since the
reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times.

With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given
pfn is really ram.  The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a
value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram
pages.

This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore.  Without this change a

During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per
zone as

(anon + file) >> priority.
Assume
scan = (anon + file) >> priority.

If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and
priority gets higher.  This has some problems.

  1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan.
     To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M.
     If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be
     batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.)
     If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in
     DEF_PRIORITY forever.

  2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0.
     So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages
     frees memory by itself.

  3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg,
     it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call
     wait_iff_congested().
     For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used.

Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when

  1. the target is enough small.
  2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim.

Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover
all_unreclaimable in a small zones.  And this patch removes nr_saved_scan.
 This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is
very small.

For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit.  After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are

   Node 1:  998M.

and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.

This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
