We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even
though it had been eliminated years ago.  You'd need to go out of your
way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on
such inodes anyway.  After killing two remaining places that still
did that bogosity, all that crap can go away.

This patch fixes a race condition in lseek. While it is expected that
unpredictable behaviour may result while repositioning the offset of a
file descriptor concurrently with reading/writing to the same file
descriptor, this should not happen when merely *reading* the file
descriptor's offset.

Unfortunately, the only portable way in Unix to read a file
descriptor's offset is lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); however executing this
concurrently with read/write may mess up the position.

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.

However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging.  And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL.  Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.

This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API.

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Impact: Reduce future system panics due to cpumask operations using NR_CPUS

Insure that code does not look at bits >= nr_cpu_ids as when cpumasks are
allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, these extra bits will not be defined.

   * change in to use cpu accessor function set_cpu_present() instead of
     directly accessing cpu_present_map w/cpu_clear() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]

   * use cpumask_of() instead of &cpumask_of_cpu() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]

Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.

Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow.  This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.

In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage.  (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)

Also:
   Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
   the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.
