The scsi_debug driver incorrectly suggests there is an error with the
SCSI WRITE SAME command when the number_of_logical_blocks is greater
than 1. It will also suggest there is an error when NDOB
(no data-out buffer) is set and the number_of_logical_blocks is
greater than 0. Both are valid, fix.

<title>treewide: make "nr_cpu_ids" unsigned</title>

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:

1)
	kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.

2)
	while (loff_t *pos &lt; nr_cpu_ids)

MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.

Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

Code savings on allyesconfig kernel: -3KB

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 25/264 up/down: 261/-3631 (-3370)
	function                                     old     new   delta

Pull uuid subsystem from Christoph Hellwig:
 "This is the new uuid subsystem, in which Amir, Andy and I have started
  consolidating our uuid/guid helpers and improving the types used for
  them. Note that various other subsystems have pulled in this tree, so
  I'd like it to go in early.

  UUID/GUID summary:

   - introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace the
     somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
     fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
     (me, based on a previous version from Amir)

   - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS and
     libnvdimm (Amir and me)

   - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)"

  ACPI: hns_dsaf_acpi_dsm_guid can be static
  mmc: sdhci-pci: make guid intel_dsm_guid static

It was not possible to enable both T10 PI and TPGS because they share
the same byte in the INQUIRY response. Logically OR the TPGS value
instead of using assignment.

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.
