At the moment, a lot of load balancing code that is irrelevant to non
SMP systems gets included during non SMP builds.
This patch addresses this issue and reduces the binary size on non
SMP systems:

At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.
This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.

A full register dump along with stack backtrace would make the
"scheduling while atomic" message more helpful. Use show_regs() instead
of dump_stack() for this. We already know we're atomic in here (that is
why this function was called) so show_regs()'s atomicity expectations
are guaranteed.
Also, modify the output of the "BUG: scheduling while atomic:" header a
bit to keep task->comm and task->pid together and preempt_count() after
them.

commit 029190c515 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.
Fixes:
1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
we can't walk the domains before we build them
presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
directories or files).
2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.
While the the function would always dereference null if called
twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the
sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
free it would have shown the error.
3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always
unregister. Without calling register on the way out we
will not have a table or any sysctl tree.
4) warn if register is called without unregistering
The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
tables.
Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):

Set bits 0, 4, 5 and 7 of PCI configuration register 0x40 in the
quirk. This has the following effects and is recommended by the
vendor.
* Force enable of IDE channels (used to be left alone as BIOS
configured)
* Change initial phase behavior of PIO cycle such that the host pulls
down the bus instead of tristating it. Vendor recommends this
setting.
The above settings are better for the current generation of
controllers and needed for the upcoming next generation.

ata_bus_softreset calls ata_check_status which means that it tries to do

Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for
failover events. In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low
level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other
locks. The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set
of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and
the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as
needed. This patch provides the high level portion.
As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which
may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to
do conditional locking. A first pass inspects all slaves to determine
if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL)
is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation
may have changed when all locks were released).

Change locking in balance-rr transmit processing to use a free
running counter to determine which slave to transmit on. Instead, a
free-running counter is maintained, and modulo arithmetic used to select
a slave for transmit.
This removes lock operations from the TX path, and eliminates
a deadlock introduced by the conversion to work queues.
