zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7)
memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy,
entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc.

Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants)
that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is
being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto
code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in
and doesn't need any dependencies then. ]

Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

virtio spec requires drivers to set DRIVER_OK before using VQs.
This is set automatically after resume returns, virtio console violated this
rule by adding inbufs, which causes the VQ to be used directly within
restore.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before using VQs.

Pull Xen updates from David Vrabel:
 "Features and fixes:

   - Add pvscsi frontend and backend drivers.
   - Remove _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag, freeing it for alternate uses.
   - Try and keep memory contiguous during PV memory setup (reduces
     SWIOTLB usage).
   - Allow front/back drivers to use threaded irqs.
   - Support large initrds in PV guests.
   - Fix PVH guests in preparation for Xen 4.5"

Pull Xen updates from David Vrabel:
 "Features and fixes:

   - Add pvscsi frontend and backend drivers.
   - Remove _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag, freeing it for alternate uses.
   - Try and keep memory contiguous during PV memory setup (reduces
     SWIOTLB usage).
   - Allow front/back drivers to use threaded irqs.
   - Support large initrds in PV guests.
   - Fix PVH guests in preparation for Xen 4.5"
