We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by
using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes:
- use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset.
- remove redundant local variable 'array'.
- declare local 'pa_size' as const.
Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size.

Impact: new timer API
Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:
introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.
(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)
This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.
Also while at it:
- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
in __mod_timer().
- make the exports come straight after the function, as
most other exports in timer.c already did.
- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
users to mod_timer().
The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full
but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write
didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly
full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available.
This patch fixes the problem.

Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files
can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and
used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.
This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable
after it has been freed. The problem is in
kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf()
If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code :
free_buf:
relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'.
free_name:
kfree(tmpname);
end:
return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'.
I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this
function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on
failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to
me).
The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to
relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the
problem.
The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while
I was at it.
Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been
done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something

unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.
