__zone_pcp_update() iterates over NR_CPUS instead of limiting the access

This problem was created as a result of the dynamic allocation of pagesets

As buffer_head is relatively small and we can have large numbers of them,
removing the constructor is a definite win.

IPoIB: Fix TX queue lockup with mixed UD/CM traffic
The IPoIB UD QP reports send completions to priv->send_cq, which is
usually left unarmed; it only gets armed when the number of
outstanding send requests reaches the size of the TX queue. This
arming is done only in the send path for the UD QP. However, when
sending CM packets, the net queue may be stopped for the same reasons
but no measures are taken to recover the UD path from a lockup.
Consider this scenario: a host sends high rate of both CM and UD
packets, with a TX queue length of N. If at some time the number of
outstanding UD packets is more than N/2 and the overall outstanding
packets is N-1, and CM sends a packet (making the number of
outstanding sends equal N), the TX queue will be stopped. When all
the CM packets complete, the number of outstanding packets will still
be higher than N/2 so the TX queue will not be restarted.

GFS2: Allow the number of committed revokes to temporarily be negative
GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed
transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add
revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its
transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first,
sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the
second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes
the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be
completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke
is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it
would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes
sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative.
__gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.

1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration

when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the
calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the
masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should
always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register.
2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we
convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low
numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later
on.
3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor
optimizations from there.

without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

iwl3945: fix memory corruption
Recent patch "iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" exposed a memory
corruption problem. When initializing the clip groups the code was
mistakenly using the iwlagn rate count, not the 3945 rate count. This
resulted in more memory being written than was allocated.
"iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" moved the location where the
clip groups are stored and the impact is now severe in that the number of
configured TX queues is modified. Previously the
"temperature" field was overwritten, which did not seem to affect the
operation.
Fix this one instance where wrong rate count was used. I also noticed one
more location where the iwlagn rate count was used to index an iwl3945
array, fix this. I also modified one location that modified the iwlagn rate
count to obtain the iwl3945 rate count ... just use the iwl3945 rate count
directly.

udf: Fix unalloc space handling in udf_update_inode
Writing of inode holding unallocated space info was broken because we first
cleared the buffer and after that checked whether it contains a tag meaning the
block holds unallocated space information. Fix the problem by checking
appropriate in memory flag instead.
Also cleanup the function a bit along the way - most importantly lock buffer
when modifying its contents, check for buffer_write_io_error instead of
!buffer_uptodate, etc..
