Move a call to kfree on a local variable out of a spinlock - there's no need
to have it in.  Done on a just merged patch.

This fixes a race in the starting of write_sigio_thread.  Previously, some of
the data needed by the thread was initialized after the clone.  If the thread
ran immediately, it would see the uninitialized data, including an empty
pollfds, which would cause it to hang.

We move the data initialization to before the clone, and adjust the error
paths and cleanup accordingly.

In a previous patch I shifted an allocation to being atomic.

In this patch, a better but more intrusive solution is implemented, i.e.  hold
the lock only when really needing it, especially not over pipe operations, nor
over the culprit allocation.

Additionally, while at it, add a missing kfree in the failure path, and make
sure that if we fail in forking, write_sigio_pid is -1 and not, say, -ENOMEM.

And fix whitespace, at least for things I was touching anyway.

There are a few functions which are declared to return something, but don't.
These are actually infinite loops which are forced to be declared as non-void.
 This makes them all return 0.

setup_initial_poll is only called with sigio_lock() held, so use appropriate
allocation.

Also, parse_chan() can also be called when holding a spinlock (see line_open()
 -> parse_chan_pair()).

I have sporadic problems (spinlock taken twice, with spinlock debugging on UP)
which could be caused by a sequence like "take spinlock, alloc and go to
sleep, take again the spinlock in the other thread".

This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated
crashes.  First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks
loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code.  Second,
there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed.  The
SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went
away.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
