Since p->pi_lock now protects all things needed to call
select_task_rq() avoid the double remote rq->lock acquisition and rely
on p->pi_lock.

In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding
p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to
stabilize task_rq().
This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have
__task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the
locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of
rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).

Provide a generic p->on_rq because the p->se.on_rq semantics are
unfavourable for lockless wakeups but needed for sched_fair.
In particular, p->on_rq is only cleared when we actually dequeue the
task in schedule() and not on any random dequeue as done by things
like __migrate_task() and __sched_setscheduler().
This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).
Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,
"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
closer I think you can simply remove this code."
It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit
623b0355d5 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"
but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit
a0592d42fe "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"
So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.

Commit 53a7706d5e ("mlock: do not hold mmap_sem for extended periods
of time") changed mlock() to care about the exact number of pages that
__get_user_pages() had brought it. Before, it would only care about
errors.
And that doesn't work, because we also handled one page specially in
__mlock_vma_pages_range(), namely the stack guard page. So when that
case was handled, the number of pages that the function returned was off
by one. In particular, it could be zero, and then the caller would end
up not making any progress at all.
Rather than try to fix up that off-by-one error for the mlock case
specially, this just moves the logic to handle the stack guard page
into__get_user_pages() itself, thus making all the counts come out
right automatically.

This reverts commit 93f1c20bc8.
It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character

separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments.
Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until
that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this
change in the kernel.
Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-'
characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).
