[NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header. This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.
I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned. The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.

Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
inline.
We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may

IB/ipoib: Bound the net device to the ipoib_neigh structue
IPoIB uses a two layer neighboring scheme, such that for each struct neighbour
whose device is an ipoib one, there is a struct ipoib_neigh buddy which is
created on demand at the tx flow by an ipoib_neigh_alloc(skb->dst->neighbour)
call.
When using the bonding driver, neighbours are created by the net stack on behalf
of the bonding (master) device. On the tx flow the bonding code gets an skb such
that skb->dev points to the master device, it changes this skb to point on the
slave device and calls the slave hard_start_xmit function.
Under this scheme, ipoib_neigh_destructor assumption that for each struct
neighbour it gets, n->dev is an ipoib device and hence netdev_priv(n->dev)
can be casted to struct ipoib_dev_priv is buggy.

A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest
time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in
task_struct accordingly.

sched: guest CPU accounting: add guest-CPU /proc/<pid>/stat fields
like for cpustat, introduce the "gtime" (guest time of the task) and
"cgtime" (guest time of the task children) fields for the
tasks. Modify signal_struct and task_struct.
Modify /proc/<pid>/stat to display these new fields.

sched: guest CPU accounting: add guest-CPU /proc/stat field
as recent CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and
"system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time
used by the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this
new field.

sched: domain sysctl fixes: do not crash on allocation failure
Now that we are calling this at runtime, a more relaxed error path is
suggested. If an allocation fails, we just register the partial table,
which will show empty directories.

sched: domain sysctl fixes: unregister the sysctl table before domains
Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then
rebuild and register after creating the new domains. This prevents the
sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write.

sched: domain sysctl fixes: use for_each_online_cpu()
init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu
variables. If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result
in a crash referencing unallocated data. If the online mask is not
contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones.

Make scheduler debug file operations const
In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have
false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental
writes to them. The new scheduler code introduces a new non-const one;
fix this up.
