kAFS crashes when asked to read a symbolic link because page_getlink()
passes a NULL file pointer to read_mapping_page(), but afs_readpage()
expects a file pointer from which to extract a key.

Modify afs_readpage() to request the appropriate key from the calling
process's keyrings if a file struct is not supplied with one attached.

Fix the following warning:

  fs/afs/dir.c: In function 'afs_d_revalidate':
  fs/afs/dir.c:567: warning: 'fid.vnode' may be used uninitialized in this function
  fs/afs/dir.c:567: warning: 'fid.unique' may be used uninitialized in this function

by marking the 'fid' variable as an uninitialized_var.  The problem is
that gcc doesn't always manage to work out that fid is always set on the
path through the function that uses it.

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

Fix various silly problems wrt mnt_namespace.h:

 - exit_mnt_ns() isn't used, remove it
 - done that, sched.h and nsproxy.h inclusions aren't needed
 - mount.h inclusion was need for vfsmount_lock, but no longer
 - remove mnt_namespace.h inclusion from files which don't use anything
   from mnt_namespace.h

<title>AFS: Correctly translate auth error aborts and don't failover in such cases</title>

Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate
Linux error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which
indicates that the server had internal problems.

Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next
server tried if an authentication error occurs.  This will quickly make
all the servers unavailable to the client.  Instead the error should be
returned straight to the user.

<title>push BKL down into -&gt;put_super</title>

Move BKL into -&gt;put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough -&gt;put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]
[AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

Put generic_show_options read access to s_options under rcu_read_lock,
split save_mount_options() into "we are setting it the first time"
(uses in foo_fill_super()) and "we are relacing and freeing the old one",
synchronize_rcu() before kfree() in the latter.
