When BLKRRPART is called concurrently with del_gendisk, the partitions
rescan can create a stale partition that will never be be cleaned up.

Fix this by checking the the disk is up before rescanning partitions
while under bd_mutex.

As an artifact of how gendisk lookup used to work in earlier kernels,
GENHD_FL_UP is only cleared very late in del_gendisk, and a global lock
is used to prevent opens from succeeding while del_gendisk is tearing
down the gendisk.  Switch to clearing the flag early and under bd_mutex
so that callers can use bd_mutex to stabilize the flag, which removes
the need for the global mutex.

blkdev_read_iter can truncate iov_iter's count since the count + pos may
exceed the size of the blkdev. This will confuse io_read that we have
consume the iovec. And once we do the iov_iter_revert in io_read, we
will trigger the slab-out-of-bounds. Fix it by reexpand the count with
size has been truncated.

blkdev_write_iter can trigger the problem too.

blkdev_read_iter can truncate iov_iter's count since the count + pos may
exceed the size of the blkdev. This will confuse io_read that we have
consume the iovec. And once we do the iov_iter_revert in io_read, we
will trigger the slab-out-of-bounds. Fix it by reexpand the count with
size has been truncated.

blkdev_write_iter can trigger the problem too.

Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2.

We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days.  It's a minor
pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with
the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry
occupies.  It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate.

Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my
laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per
16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects.  Combined, that saves
a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches.
Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save
any memory for ext4.

This patch (of 4):

Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can
just check whether i_pages is empty.
