Another -rc1, another posting.

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.

The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.

The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose
I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a
generic cleanup.

Also provided is a rollup of these patches, which is used as a commit in the
git tree referenced below.

The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the follow up
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.

Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.

After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a
lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes
which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well.

Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.

This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think
wants.

Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
