<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
  removing code:

   - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
     calls for dma_map_* error checking

   - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
     retpoline overhead for high performance workloads

   - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct

   - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for
     architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache
     coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used
     for csky now.

   - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
     of entries (Robin Murphy)

   - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
     for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
     can't cope with it

   - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups

   - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
     replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure

   - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)

   - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
     common code (Robin Murphy)

   - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel
     data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
     architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
     dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
     removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"

While the dma-direct code is (relatively) clean and simple we actually
have to use the swiotlb ops for the mapping on many architectures due
to devices with addressing limits.  Instead of keeping two
implementations around this commit allows the dma-direct
implementation to call the swiotlb bounce buffering functions and
thus share the guts of the mapping implementation.  This also
simplified the dma-mapping setup on a few architectures where we
don't have to differenciate which implementation to use.

Instead of providing a special dma_mark_clean hook just for ia64, switch
ia64 to use the normal arch_sync_dma_for_cpu hooks instead.

This means that we now also set the PG_arch_1 bit for pages in the
swiotlb buffer, which isn't stricly needed as we will never execute code
out of the swiotlb buffer, but otherwise harmless.

The numa_slit variable used by node_distance is available to a
module as long as it is linked at compile-time. However, it is
not available to loadable modules. Leading to errors such as:

  ERROR: "numa_slit" [drivers/nvme/host/nvme-core.ko] undefined!

The error above is caused by the nvme multipath code that makes
use of node_distance for its path calculation. When the patch was
added, the lightnvm subsystem would select nvme and always compile
it in, leading to the node_distance call to always succeed.
However, when this requirement was removed, nvme could be compiled
in as a module, which exposed this bug.

This patch extracts node_distance to a function and exports it.
Since ACPI is depending on node_distance being a simple lookup to
numa_slit, the previous behavior is exposed as slit_distance and its
users updated.

Fixes: f333444708f82 "nvme: take node locality into account when selecting a path"
Fixes: 73569e11032f "lightnvm: remove dependencies on BLK_DEV_NVME and PCI"
