Extend the support of attribute groups in class_device's to allow
groups to be created as part of the registration process. This allows
network device's to avoid race between registration and creating
groups.
Note that unlike attributes that are a property of the class object,
the groups are a property of the class_device object. This is done
because there are different types of network devices (wireless for
example).

Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in dccp_close can lead to dead
locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without
disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny
window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible
path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the
tx skb in process context with BH enabled.
We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock.
The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket
ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else.
By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this
problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its
state cannot change.
So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock
and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock.
If the socket state has transitioned to DCCP_CLOSED in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.
This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.
Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
temporary spillover of the receive buffer.
- If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
higher TSNs.
- Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
even if we run out of receive buffer space.

zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac
and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually
reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be
pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during
ieee80211softmac_stop().
This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that
rescheduling does not happen in this situation.
I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are
non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply
makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily
by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac
and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!)

The block layer keeps a reference (driverfs_dev) to the struct
device associated with the block device, and uses it internally
for generating uevents in block_uevent.
Block device uevents include umounting the partition, which can
occur after the backing device has been removed.
Unfortunately, this reference is not counted. This means that
if the struct device is removed from the device tree, the block
layers reference will become stale.
Guard against this by holding a reference to the struct device
in add_disk(), and only drop the reference when we're releasing
the gendisk kobject - in other words when we can be sure that no
further uevents will be generated for this block device.

Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward.
This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket
is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However,
this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes
the orphan count test by one.
Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal.
