The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all
users, and it's name is not very descriptive either.
Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode
reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL
pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations.
Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in
libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers
to d_obtain_alias.

cifs: handle the TCP_Server_Info->tsk field more carefully
We currently handle the TCP_Server_Info->tsk field without any locking,
but with some half-measures to try and prevent races. These aren't
really sufficient though. When taking down cifsd, use xchg() to swap
the contents of the tsk field with NULL so we don't end up trying
to send it more than one signal. Also, don't allow cifsd to exit until
the signal is received if we expect one.

cifs: fix unlinking of rename target when server doesn't support open file renames
The patch to make cifs_rename undoable broke renaming one file on top of
another when the server doesn't support busy file renames. Remove the
code that uses busy file renames to unlink the target file, and just
have it call cifs_unlink. If the rename of the source file fails, then
the unlink won't be undoable, but hopefully that's rare enough that it
won't be a problem.

>ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in

In the above commit the "acpi.power_nocheck" module parameter is defined
in drivers/acpi/power.c file. As several module parameters using the same ACPI
prefix are defined in the different files(for example: power_nocheck is
defined in drivers/acpi/power.c,debug_layer/debug_level are defined in
drivers/acpi/debug.c) and there exists another module between them, the
warning message will be printed when using the current generic param code.
(In the function of param_sysfs_init).
In fact when ACPI is selected, the drivers/acpi/power will also be compiled
as built-in kernel.So this issue can be fixed by the following approach.
workaround it by adjusting the module link order in drivers/acpi/Makefile.
In such case the module parameter using the same prefix(ACPI) are put together
in the param data section.
Of course the better solution is to fix it in generic param code related
with sysfs.
