This patch makes use of label names that say what the goto
actually does, as recommended in the kernel documentation.

The function unregister_chrdev_region is called with a different counter
as the alloc_chrdev_region. To fix this, this patch introduces the
constant CHRDEV_REGION_SIZE that is used in both functions.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1.

  There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all
  releases.

  The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging
  tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use
  anymore.

  The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging
  tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc
  codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for
  4.17-rc1 if all goes well.

  Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the
  tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all
  know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the
  Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting
  huge chunks of it that were never even being used.

  Full details of everything is in the shortlog.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
  reported issues"
