scsi: saner replacements for ->proc_info()
It's still an obsolete interface; don't introduce those in new drivers.
However, it's saner than the ->proc_info() and commits after this one
will convert the existing ->proc_info() users to it.
The read side is ->show_info(seq_file *, struct Scsi_Host *); use
seq_... for generating contents.
The write side is ->write_info(struct Scsi_Host *, char *, int).
Again, this is driven by procfs needs; we are going to kill ->write_proc()
and ->read_proc() and this is the main obstacle to burying that piece of
shit.

It's a seriously rotten copy of parts of bp_mod.c; had been
ifdefed out all along, lacks a bunch of declarations that would
be needed if ifdef had been removed, all stuff in it is duplicated
in bp_mod.c anyway...

dgrp procfs fixes, part 1
proc_create() has shat upon fops argument when mode is S_IFDIR.
Good thing, too, since fops passed to it is completely useless
for any directory. Just use proc_mkdir(), damnit.

The rtl8192e procfs-based debug interface seems very broken
The procfs debug code in rtl_debug.c is, ironically, very buggy: it lacks proper locking.
Since the most useful part of the code (the stats) are available through more
standard APIs, I think it is best to just delete the whole mess.

get rid of pipe->inode

pipe: take allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex
* new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all
sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock.
* pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when
if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case,
frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock()
* fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files
if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining
->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe
there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated.
At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so
we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to. If we end up
failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and
free the sucker after pipe_unlock().

Nest rename_lock inside vfsmount_lock
... lest we get livelocks between path_is_under() and d_path() and friends.
The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks;
it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread
A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's
a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive.
As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and
rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take
vfsmount_lock only shared.
