To ensure ewma_read() without a lock returns a valid but possibly
out of date average, modify ewma_add() by using ACCESS_ONCE to prevent
intermediate wrong values from being written to avg->internal.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

A pending header cleanup will cause this to show up as:

lib/average.c:38: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function)
lib/list_debug.c:24: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function)

and TAINT_WARN comes from include/linux/kernel.h file.

Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve
performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think
this is something we can live with.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!

This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the
EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding
errors.

The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver
(rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and
ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.
