Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've
atomic_t for this!

Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache
line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of
struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g.
occupying only two instead of three cache lines.

Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run
using pcrypt.

Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more
reason to get rid of it.

When padata_do_parallel() is called from multiple cpus for the same
padata instance, we can get object reordering on sequence number wrap
because testing for sequence number wrap and reseting the sequence
number must happen atomically but is implemented with two atomic
operations. This patch fixes this by converting the sequence number
from atomic_t to an unsigned int and protect the access with a
spin_lock. As a side effect, we get rid of the sequence number wrap
handling because the seqence number wraps back to null now without
the need to do anything.

A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer
is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we
can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function.
A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register
to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of
padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.

We pass a pointer to the new padata cpumasks to the cpumask_change_notifier
chain. So users can access the cpumasks without the need of an extra
padata_get_cpumask function.

padata_set_cpumask needs to be protected by a lock. We make
__padata_set_cpumasks unlocked and static. So this function
can be used by the exported and locked padata_set_cpumask and
padata_set_cpumasks functions.

We rename padata_alloc to padata_alloc_possible because this
function allocates a padata_instance and uses the cpu_possible
mask for parallel and serial workers. Also we rename __padata_alloc
to padata_alloc to avoid to export underlined functions. Underlined
functions are considered to be private to padata. Users are updated
accordingly.

Added sysfs primitives to padata subsystem. Now API user may
embedded kobject each padata instance contains into any sysfs
hierarchy. For now padata sysfs interface provides only
two objects:
    serial_cpumask   [RW] - cpumask for serial workers
    parallel_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for parallel workers

The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks
for padata parallel and serial workers respectively.
It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations
of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting
CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its
cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all
interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful
if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.

We count the number of processed objects on a percpu basis,
so we need to go through all the percpu reorder queues to calculate
the sequence number of the next object that needs serialization.
This patch changes this to count the number of processed objects
global. So we can calculate the sequence number and the percpu
reorder queue of the next object that needs serialization without
searching through the percpu reorder queues. This avoids some
accesses to memory of foreign cpus.

This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is
checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata
instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect
with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an
error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only
padata user, pcrypt to this change.

padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that
need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu.
This check was wrong implemented and returned always true,
so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This
can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that
appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop
was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that
loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead.

This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with
the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while
cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder
already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because
it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock
cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object
was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer
function sends it out in this case.
