<title>treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref</title>

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

The virtio transport will implement graceful shutdown and the related
SO_LINGER socket option.  This requires orphaning the sock but keeping
it in the table of connections after .release().

This patch adds the vsock_remove_sock() function and leaves it up to the
transport when to remove the sock.

struct vsock_transport contains function pointers called by AF_VSOCK
core code.  The transport may want its own transport-specific function
pointers and they can be added after struct vsock_transport.

Allow the transport to fetch vsock_transport.  It can downcast it to
access transport-specific function pointers.

The virtio transport will use this.

<title>sctp: change to use TCP_CLOSE_WAIT as SCTP_SS_CLOSING</title>

<content type='text'>
Prior to this patch, sctp defined TCP_CLOSING as SCTP_SS_CLOSING.
TCP_CLOSING is such a special sk state in TCP that inet common codes
even exclude it.

For instance, inet_accept thinks the accept sk's state never be
TCP_CLOSING, or it will give a WARN_ON. TCP works well with that
while SCTP may trigger the call trace, as CLOSING state in SCTP
has different meaning from TCP.

This fix is to change to use TCP_CLOSE_WAIT as SCTP_SS_CLOSING,
instead of TCP_CLOSING. Some side-effects could be expected,
regardless of not being used before. inet_accept will accept it
now.

I did all the func_tests in lksctp-tools and ran sctp codnomicon
fuzzer tests against this patch, no regression or failure found.

After the previous patch, struct tc_action should be enough
to represent the generic tc action, tcf_common is not necessary
any more. This patch gets rid of it to make tc action code
more readable.

After the previous patch, struct tc_action should be enough
to represent the generic tc action, tcf_common is not necessary
any more. This patch gets rid of it to make tc action code
more readable.

struct tc_action is confusing, currently we use it for two purposes:
1) Pass in arguments and carry out results from helper functions
2) A generic representation for tc actions

The first one is error-prone, since we need to make sure we don't
miss anything. This patch aims to get rid of this use, by moving
tc_action into tcf_common, so that they are allocated together
in hashtable and can be cast'ed easily.

And together with the following patch, we could really make
tc_action a generic representation for all tc actions and each
type of action can inherit from it.
