seq_path_root() is returning a return value of successful __d_path()
instead of returning a negative value when mangle_path() failed.

This is not a bug so far because nobody is using return value of
seq_path_root().

Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime.  Getting the lock in
mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first.

This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock
region.

This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.

Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for
IO intensive workloads.  Most likely that's due to the lock in
mnt_want_write().  Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and
then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime
or relatime).

Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then
if that didn't succeed take the lock.  That works because none of the
atime avoidance tests rely on locking.

This also eliminates a goto.

Hugetlbfs needs to do special things instead of truncate_inode_pages().
 Currently, it copied generic_forget_inode() except for
truncate_inode_pages() call which is asking for trouble (the code there
isn't trivial).  So create a separate function generic_detach_inode()
which does all the list magic done in generic_forget_inode() and call
it from hugetlbfs_forget_inode().

Impact: have simple_read_from_buffer conform to standards

It was brought to my attention by Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso, and H.
Peter Anvin that a read from userspace should only return -EFAULT if
nothing was actually read.

Looking at the simple_read_from_buffer I noticed that this function does
not conform to that rule.  This patch fixes that function.

This reverts commit c02e3f36 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")

The patch is wrong.  UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent.  No race.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:

 - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC

 - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
   following call chain:

    [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
    [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)
    [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c)
    [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0)
    [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4)
    [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80)
    [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
    [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

   and the path pointer was NULL.  Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
   doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.

The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now.  UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec.  So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

Up until 1.1.83, the primitive human tribes used struct sigaction for

When someone created the new "struct irqaction" they carried across
the "mask" field as a kind of ancestor worship: the fact that it was
unused makes clear its spiritual significance.
