After switching data directions, deadline always starts the next batch
from the lowest-sector request. This gives excessive deadline expiries
and large latency and throughput disparity between high- and low-sector
requests; an order of magnitude in some tests.
This patch changes the batching behaviour so new batches start from the
request whose expiry is earliest.

The deadline I/O scheduler does not reset the batch count when starting
a new batch at a higher-sectored request. This means the second and
subsequent batch in the same data direction will never exceed a single
request in size whenever higher-sectored requests are pending.
This patch gives new batches in the same data direction as old ones
their full quota of requests by resetting the batch count.

The setup_net is called for the init net namespace
only (int the CONFIG_NET_NS=n of course) from the __init
function, so mark it as __net_init to disappear with the
caller after the boot.
Yet again, in the perfect world this has to be under
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS, but it isn't guaranteed that every
subsystem is registered *after* the init_net_ns is set
up. After we are sure, that we don't start registering
them before the init net setup, we'll be able to move
this code under the ifdef.

The namespace creation/destruction code is never called
if the CONFIG_NET_NS is n, so it's OK to move it under
appropriate ifdef.
The copy_net_ns() in the "n" case checks for flags and
returns -EINVAL when new net ns is requested. In a perfect
world this stub must be in net_namespace.h, but this
function need to know the CLONE_NEWNET value and thus
requires sched.h. On the other hand this header is to be
injected into almost every .c file in the networking code,
and making all this code depend on the sched.h is a
suicidal attempt.

When the new pernet something (subsys, device or operations) is
being registered, the init callback is to be called for each
namespace, that currently exitst in the system. During the
unregister, the same is to be done with the exit callback.
However, not every pernet something has both calls, but the
check for the appropriate pointer to be not NULL is performed
inside the for_each_net() loop.
This is (at least) strange, so tune this.

DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK
was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full
processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block
sorting situation is like this:
SSSSSSSSS
D
SSSSSS
SSSSSSS
Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block
has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the
DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should
we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK
block after the DSACK (if any).
Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during
the previous SACK block.
If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK
block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of
the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed
first.
Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and
by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the
selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken):
SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur...
SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una)
...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort),
went to dup_sack = 1 branch.

When CONFIG_BUG is turned off, the standard trick of:
switch (x) {
case X:

};
to mark impossible cases does not work because BUG() evalutes

this case.

The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses
to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the
file.
However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in
commit 54cb8821de ("mm: merge populate and
nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)". The breakage caused a hang with
gdb when trying to access the invalid page.
The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is
wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity
standpoint. So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the
ptrace() hang in the process.
Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case
(quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had,
thanks Duane!").
