The patch uses 'nr_pages' argument of fuse_readpages() as heuristics for the
number of page pointers to allocate.

This can be improved further by taking in consideration fc->max_read and gaps
between page indices, but it's not clear whether it's worthy or not.

The patch reworks fuse_retrieve() to allocate only so many page pointers
as needed. The core part of the patch is the following calculation:

	num_pages = (num + offset + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

(thanks Miklos for formula). All other changes are mostly shuffling lines.

The patch categorizes all fuse_get_req() invocations into two categories:
 - fuse_get_req_nopages(fc) - when caller doesn't care about req->pages
 - fuse_get_req(fc, n) - when caller need n page pointers (n > 0)

Adding fuse_get_req_nopages() helps to avoid numerous fuse_get_req(fc, 0)
scattered over code. Now it's clear from the first glance when a caller need
fuse_req with page pointers.

The patch doesn't make any logic changes. In multi-page case, it silly
allocates array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers. This will be amended
by future patches.

The patch removes inline array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers from
fuse_req. Instead of that, req->pages may now point either to small inline
array or to an array allocated dynamically.

This essentially means that all callers of fuse_request_alloc[_nofs] should
pass the number of pages needed explicitly.

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.

If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.

With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:

Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with

sh# time ls -lR /mnt

Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s

With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s

The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.

The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a
module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it
also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path
after resume/init ops call.  This caused a regression when the jack
state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save
mode).  Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps
using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains
also as if the jack is still plugged.

The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original
position.

Commit 083b804c ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it
possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order.
While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in
the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the
running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order.

Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool.  An async
worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending
list, which kept the executing lists sorted.  The conversion to
workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async
just schedules the work item.  The queueing and dispatching of such work
items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a
specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the
executing list.  So, depending on which worker reaches that point
earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry
with larger cookie before one with smaller one.

This broke __lowest_in_progress().  running->domain may not be properly
sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list
when not empty.  Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list
and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine
the lowest cookie.

Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy.
We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two
lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution
starts.  There's no reason to distinguish pending and running.  They
behave the same for synchronization purposes.

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack.  However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.

set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.

As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it.  Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.

Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().

While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().
