commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 upstream.

Can be reproduced when running dlm_controld (tested on 4.4.x, 4.12.4):
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool join
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool leave

misc_register fails due to duplicate sysfs entry, which causes
dlm_device_register to free ls-&gt;ls_device.name.
In dlm_device_deregister the name was freed again, causing memory
corruption.

According to the comment in dlm_device_deregister the name should've been
set to NULL when registration fails,
so this patch does that.

Both the filesystem and the lock manager can associate operations with a
lock.  Confusingly, one of them (fl_release_private) actually has the
same name in both operation structures.

It would save some confusion to give the lock-manager ops different
names.

Allow multiple workqueue items (locks with callbacks) to be
processed concurrently.  There should be no reason not to
take advantage of this workqueue feature.

Instead of creating our own kthread (dlm_astd) to deliver
callbacks for all lockspaces, use a per-lockspace workqueue
to deliver the callbacks.  This eliminates complications and
slowdowns from many lockspaces sharing the same thread.

By pre-allocating rsb structs before searching the hash
table, they can be inserted immediately.  This avoids
always having to repeat the search when adding the struct
to hash list.

This also adds space to the rsb struct for a max resource
name, so an rsb allocation can be used by any request.
The constant size also allows us to finally use a slab
for the rsb structs.

This is simpler and quicker than the hash table, and
avoids needing to search the hash list for every new
lkid to check if it's used.

<title>dlm: don't do pointless NULL check, use kzalloc and fix order of arguments</title>

In fs/dlm/lock.c in the dlm_scan_waiters() function there are 3 small
issues:

1) There's no need to test the return value of the allocation and do a
memset if is succeedes. Just use kzalloc() to obtain zeroed memory.

2) Since kfree() handles NULL pointers gracefully, the test of
'warned' against NULL before the kfree() after the loop is completely
pointless. Remove it.

3) The arguments to kmalloc() (now kzalloc()) were swapped. Thanks to
Dr. David Alan Gilbert for pointing this out.
