The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact
over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is
called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but
still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc
should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to
deal with it anyway.
Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been
called.

Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288
It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in
futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the
error handling path and retries without locking them again which
makes the next unlock fail.
Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.

The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems:
(1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no
convenient place,
(2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes
problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct
rcu_state,
(3) the switch statement are large, and
(4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the
treercu implementations.
So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function
pointer abstraction.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing
abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU
stall-warning bug found while making the other changes.
o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing
the need to declare them at each call site.
o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf
nodes of the rcu_node tree.
o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does
a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA
stepping through the array in index-number order.
o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf
will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore,
the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the
root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf
rcu_node structures.

PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup.
It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the
waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call
schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex
wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang.
By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to
queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no
longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to
delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to
queue_me().
The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi()
relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and
wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts
as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex.
Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across
get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement
with a description of why the test is performed.
