The small patch below:
- Removes the unused md argument from both specific_minor() and next_free_minor()
- Folds kmalloc + memset(0) into a single kzalloc call in alloc_dev()

This has been compile tested on x86.

Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O.

It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the
queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device).

The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the
sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs
the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when
the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to
the disk.

This was happenning:

When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of
bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is
woken up.

fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer().  That unplugs the queue, but
there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue.

wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished.

kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices.

The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it.
(The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.)

So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are
unplugged and requests are processed.

This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes),
dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1.

Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the
queue actually to send the request to the device.

This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps
the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes
processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios.

It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests
are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

This patch replaces the schedule() in the main kmirrord thread with a timer.
The schedule() could introduce an unwanted delay when work is ready to be
processed.

The code instead calls wake() when there's work to be done immediately, and
delayed_wake() after a failure to give a short delay before retrying.

RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the
RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way
on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid
spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is
therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major
timeout.

Frank Bennett reported that ivtv was causing skype to crash. With help
from one of their developers he showed it was a kernel problem.
VIDIOCGCAP copies a name into a fixed length buffer - ivtv uses names
that are too long and does not truncate them so corrupts a few bytes of
the app data area.

Possibly the names also want trimming but for now this should fix the
corruption case.
