This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
is using it.
We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
mm of the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.
This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
around the unused run list in the submission path.

NFS optimizes away d_revalidates for last component of open. This means that
open itself can find the dentry stale.
This patch allows the filesystem to return EOPENSTALE and the VFS will retry the
lookup on just the last component if possible.
If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this
is not possible since the parent dentry is lost. In this case fall back to
non-RCU lookup. Currently this is not used since NFS will always leave RCU
mode.

Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources
required by the device, and should be retried at a later time.
This should completely solve the problem of getting devices
initialized in the right order. Right now this is mostly handled by
mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and
doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in
modules. This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing
driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request
to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed.
v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue
- Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral
- Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works
v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk
of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices.
- Tested with simple use cases. Still needs more testing though.
Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace
the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal.
v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard
- remove device from deferred list at device_del time.
- Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been
boot tested.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
