Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g.
on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will
act as readv() and succeed. Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial
fix.

This reverts commit 951f3512db
drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially
since this commit introduced other regressions due to untouched LBPC
register, e.g. the backlight dimmed after resume.
In addition to the revert, this patch includes a fix for the original
issue (weird backlight levels) by removing the wrong bit shift for
computing the current backlight level.
Also, including typo fixes (lpbc -> lbpc).

Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an
unlinked file by an nfs client:
client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/
client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO
...
server$ df -i /export
server$ rm /export/FOO
(^C the tail -f)
server$ df -i /export
server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
server$ df -i /export
the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until
the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's
tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible
spurious ENOSPC.
This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a
compound with a putfh and a close, processed like:
- putfh: look up the filehandle. The only alias found for the
inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp
this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and
returns that instead.
- close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed
immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED.
- end of the compound: release the reference
to the current filehandle, and dput() the new
DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the
unused list instead of being destroyed immediately.
Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return
the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it
create a new dentry.
Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other
callers.
Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry,
hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.
