restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context
from the user stack, during the sigreturn. Appended patch fixes it by
doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler
execution. This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the
sigreturn.
This improves 64-bit lat_sig numbers by ~30% on my core2 platform.

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a
debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.
set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)
This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

The link state machine requires access to some resources that

The standard validate_addr handler refuses to accept the all zeroes address
as valid. However, it's common historical practice for the bonding
master to be configured up prior to having any slaves, at which time the
master will have a MAC address of all zeroes.
Resolved by setting the dev->validate_addr to NULL. The master still can't
end up with an invalid address, as the set_mac_address function tests
for validity.

Looks like I incorrectly merged one of the rtnl lock changes,
so that one function, bonding_show_active_slave, held rtnl but didn't
release it, and another, bonding_store_active_slave, never held rtnl but
did release it.
Fixed so the first function doesn't mess with rtnl, and the
second correctly acquires and releases rtnl.
