Conditional mntput() moved into __do_follow_link(). There it collapses with

Getting rid of sloppy logics:
a) in do_follow_link() we have the wrong vfsmount dropped if our symlink
had been mounted on something. Currently it worls only because we never
get such situation (modulo filesystem playing dirty tricks on us). And
it obfuscates already convoluted logics...
b) same goes for open_namei().
c) in __link_path_walk() we have another "it should never happen" sloppiness -
out_dput: there does double-free on underlying vfsmount and leaks the covering
one if we hit it just after crossing a mountpoint. Again, wrong vfsmount
getting dropped.
d) another too-early-mntput() race - in do_follow_mount() we need to postpone
conditional mntput(path->mnt) until after dput(path->dentry). Again, this one
happens only in it-currently-never-happens-unless-some-fs-plays-dirty

In open_namei() exit_dput: we have mntput() done in the wrong order -
if nd->mnt != path.mnt we end up doing
mntput(nd->mnt);
nd->mnt = path.mnt;
dput(nd->dentry);
mntput(nd->mnt);
which drops nd->dentry too late. Fixed by having path.mnt go first.
That allows to switch O_NOFOLLOW under if (__follow_mount(...)) back
to exit_dput, while we are at it.

In open_namei(), __follow_down() loop turned into __follow_mount().
Instead of
if we are on a mountpoint dentry
if O_NOFOLLOW checks fail
drop path.dentry
drop nd
return
do equivalent of follow_mount(&path.mnt, &path.dentry)
nd->mnt = path.mnt
we do
if __follow_mount(path) had, indeed, traversed mountpoint
/* now both nd->mnt and path.mnt are pinned down */
if O_NOFOLLOW checks fail
drop path.dentry
drop path.mnt
drop nd
return
mntput(nd->mnt)
nd->mnt = path.mnt
Now __follow_down() can be folded into follow_down() - no other callers left.
We need to reorder dput()/mntput() there - same problem as in follow_mount().
Equivalent transformation + fix for a bug in O_NOFOLLOW handling - we used to
get -ELOOP if we had the same fs mounted on /foo and /bar, had something bound
on /bar/baz and tried to open /foo/baz with O_NOFOLLOW. And fix of

New helper: __follow_mount(struct path *path). Same as follow_mount(), except
that we do *not* do mntput() after the first lookup_mnt().
IOW, original path->mnt stays pinned down. We also take care to do dput()
before mntput() in the loop body (follow_mount() also needs that reordering,
but that will be done later in the series).
The following are equivalent, assuming that path.mnt == x:
(1)
follow_mount(&path.mnt, &path.dentry)
(2)
__follow_mount(&path);
if (path->mnt != x)
mntput(x);
(3)
if (__follow_mount(&path))
mntput(x);
Callers of follow_mount() in __link_path_walk() converted to (2).

mntget(path->mnt) in do_follow_link() moved down to right before the
__do_follow_link() call and rigth after loop: resp.
dput()+mntput() on non-ELOOP branch moved up to right after __do_follow_link()
call.
resulting
loop:
mntget(path->mnt);
path_release(nd);
dput(path->mnt);
mntput(path->mnt);
replaced with equivalent
dput(path->mnt);
path_release(nd);
Equivalent transformations - the reason why we have that mntget() is that
__do_follow_link() can drop a reference to nd->mnt and that's what holds
path->mnt. So that call can happen at any point prior to __do_follow_link()
touching nd->mnt. The rest is obvious.
NOTE: current tree relies on symlinks *never* being mounted on anything. It's
not hard to get rid of that assumption (actually, that will come for free
later in the series). For now we are just not making the situation worse than
it is.

To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:
1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
itself.
2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
(orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

Problem:
When a module requests a DMA channel via the function s3c2410_dma_request(), this function requests the appropriate irq under the name of the client module. When the client module is unloaded, it calls s3c2410_dma_free() which does not free the irq. Consequently, when e.g. running "cat /proc/interrupts", the irq owner points to freed memory, leading to a kernel oops.
