Prevent tracing of preempt_disable/enable() in sched_clock_cpu().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are
traced and this causes trace_clock() users (and probably others) to
go into an infinite recursion. Systems with a stable sched_clock()
are not affected.

This problem is similar to that fixed by upstream commit 95ef1e52922
("KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclock").

We must use smp_call_function_single(.wait=1) for the
irq_cpu_stop_queue_work() to ensure the queueing is actually done under
stop_cpus_lock. Without this we could have dropped the lock by the time
we do the queueing and get the race we tried to fix.

<title>mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify</title>

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.

However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.

Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "In the past, I've had lots of reports about trace events not working.
  Developers would say they put a trace_printk() before and after the
  trace event but when they enable it (and the trace event said it was
  enabled) they would see the trace_printks but not the trace event.

  I was not able to reproduce this, but that's because I wasn't looking
  at the right location.  Recently, another bug came up that showed the
  issue.

  If your kernel supports signed modules but allows for non-signed
  modules to be loaded, then when one is, the kernel will silently set
  the MODULE_FORCED taint on the module.  Although, this taint happens
  without the need for insmod --force or anything of the kind, it labels
  the module with that taint anyway.

  If this tainted module has tracepoints, the tracepoints will be
  ignored because of the MODULE_FORCED taint.  But no error message will
  be displayed.  Worse yet, the event infrastructure will still be
  created letting users enable the trace event represented by the
  tracepoint, although that event will never actually be enabled.  This
  is because the tracepoint infrastructure allows for non-existing
  tracepoints to be enabled for new modules to arrive and have their
  tracepoints set.

  Although there are several things wrong with the above, this change
  only addresses the creation of the trace event files for tracepoints
  that are not created when a module is loaded and is tainted.  This
  change will print an error message about the module being tainted and
  not the trace events will not be created, and it does not create the
  trace event infrastructure"
