Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

<content type='text'>
We recently fixed lease breaking so that a client's actions won't break
its own delegations.

But we still have an unnecessary self-conflict when granting
delegations: a client's own write opens will prevent us from handing out
a read delegation even when no other client has the file open for write.

Fix that by turning off the checks for conflicting opens under
vfs_setlease, and instead performing those checks in the nfsd code.

We don't depend much on locks here: instead we acquire the delegation,
then check for conflicts, and drop the delegation again if we find any.

The check beforehand is an optimization of sorts, just to avoid
acquiring the delegation unnecessarily.  There's a race where the first
check could cause us to deny the delegation when we could have granted
it.  But, that's OK, delegation grants are optional (and probably not
even a good idea in that case).

 "This has four sets of changes:

   - modernize proc to support multiple private instances

   - ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly

   - remove has_group_leader_pid

   - use pids not tasks in posix-cpu-timers lookup

  Alexey updated proc so each mount of proc uses a new superblock. This
  allows people to actually use mount options with proc with no fear of
  messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts
  of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in
  Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security
  issues.

  The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of
  my work to allow this change to proc. In essence it is swapping the
  pids in de_thread during exec which removes a special case the code
  had to handle. Then updating the code to stop handling that special
  case"

syzbot found that

  touch /proc/testfile

causes NULL pointer dereference at tomoyo_get_local_path()
because inode of the dentry is NULL.

Before c59f415a7cb6, Tomoyo received pid_ns from proc's s_fs_info
directly. Since proc_pid_ns() can only work with inode, using it in
the tomoyo_get_local_path() was wrong.

To avoid creating more functions for getting proc_ns, change the
argument type of the proc_pid_ns() function. Then, Tomoyo can use
the existing super_block to get pid_ns.

We currently revoke read delegations on any write open or any operation
that modifies file data or metadata (including rename, link, and
unlink).  But if the delegation in question is the only read delegation
and is held by the client performing the operation, that's not really
necessary.

It's not always possible to prevent this in the NFSv4.0 case, because
there's not always a way to determine which client an NFSv4.0 delegation
came from.  (In theory we could try to guess this from the transport
layer, e.g., by assuming all traffic on a given TCP connection comes
from the same client.  But that's not really correct.)

In the NFSv4.1 case the session layer always tells us the client.

This patch should remove such self-conflicts in all cases where we can
reliably determine the client from the compound.

To do that we need to track "who" is performing a given (possibly
lease-breaking) file operation.  We're doing that by storing the
information in the svc_rqst and using kthread_data() to map the current
task back to a svc_rqst.
