An RB tree is used for the SDMA pinning cache. Cache
entries are extracted and reinserted from the tree
in case the address range for it changes. However,
if the address range for the entry doesn't change,
deleting the entry from the RB tree is not necessary.
This affects performance since the tree needs to be
rebalanced for each insertion, and this happens in
the hot path. Optimize RB search by not removing
entries when it's not needed.

The ops->remove() callback was called by hfi1_mmu_unregister() with a
NULL mm argument while holding a spinlock. In the case of sdma_rb_remove()
this caused it to pass current->mm to hfi1_release_user_pages()
This had 2 problems. First this would attempt to acquire the mmap_sem
under a spin lock. Second the use of current->mm is not always guaranteed
to be the proper mm when the fd is being closed.
Rather than depend on this implicit behavior we move all calls to
ops->remove outside of the spinlock. This also allows the correct
mm to be used in the remove callback without fear of deadlock.
Because the MMU notifier is not guaranteed to hold mm->mmap_sem, but
usually does, we must delay all remove callbacks until out of the notifier,
when the callbacks can take the mmap_sem if they need to.
Code comments were added to clarify what the expectations are for the
users of the mmu rb tree.

The objects which use cache handling should reference their own handler
object not the internal data structure it uses to track the nodes.
Have the "users" of the mmu notifier code pass opaque objects which can
then be properly used in the mmu callbacks depending on the owners needs.
This patch has the additional benefit that operations no longer require a
look up in a list to find the handlers.

The hfi1 driver registers a mmu_notifier callback when /dev/hfi1_* is
opened, and unregisters it when the device is closed. The driver
incorrectly assumes that the close will always happen from the same
context as the open. In particular, closes due to SIGKILL or OOM killer
activity may happen from a different context. In these cases, the wrong
mm is passed to mmu_notifier_unregister(), which causes improper reference
counting for the victim mm, and eventual memory corruption.
Preserve the mm for all open file descriptors and use this mm rather than
current->mm for memory operations for the lifetime of that fd. Note: this
patch leaves 1 use of current->mm in place. This use is removed in a
follow on patch because other functional changes were required prior to
that use being removed.
If registration fails, there is no reason to keep the handler object
around. Free the handler object rather than add it to the list to
prevent any mmu_notifier operations, including unregister, when
registration fails.

The TODO list for the hfi1 driver was completed during 4.6. In addition
other objections raised (which are far beyond what was in the TODO list)
have been addressed as well. It is now time to remove the driver from
staging and into the drivers/infiniband sub-tree.
