The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

This is part of the effort to get rid of the BKL.
[JD: In fact i2c-dev doesn't need more locking than is already done
for the other i2c drivers, so we can simply switch to unlocked_ioctl.]

The i2c_adapter.clients list of i2c_client nodes duplicates driver
model state. This patch starts removing that list, letting us remove
most existing users of those i2c-core lists.
* The core I2C code now iterates over the driver model's list instead
of the i2c-internal one in some places where it's safe:
- Passing a command/ioctl to each client, a mechanims
used almost exclusively by DVB adapters;
- Device address checking, in both i2c-core and i2c-dev.
* Provide i2c_verify_client() to use with driver model iterators.
* Flag the relevant i2c_adapter and i2c_client fields as deprecated,
to help prevent new users from appearing.
For the moment the list needs to stick around, since some issues show
up when deleting devices created by legacy I2C drivers. (They don't
follow standard driver model rules. Removing those devices can cause
self-deadlocks.)

Let i2c-dev deal properly with new-style i2c clients. Instead of
considering them always busy, it needs to check wether a driver is
bound to them or not.
This is still not completely correct, as the client could become
busy later, but the same problem already existed before new-style
clients were introduced. We'll want to fix it someday.

This adds some "how does this work" comments to the i2c-dev driver,
plus separators between the three main components:
- The parallel list of i2c_adapters ("i2c_dev_list"), each of which
gets a "struct i2c_dev" and a /dev/i2c-X character special file.
- An i2cdev_driver gets adapter add/remove notifications, which are
used to maintain that list of adapters.
- Special file operations, which let userspace talk either directly to
the adapter (for i2c_msg operations) or through cached addressing info
using an anonymous i2c_client (never registered anywhere).
Plus there's the usual module load/unload record keeping.
After making sense of this code, I think that the anonymous i2c_client
is pretty shady. But since it's never registered, using this code with
a system set up for "new style" I2C drivers is no more complicated than
always using the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl (instead of I2C_SLAVE).

This removes:
- An effectively unused hook: i2c_algorithm.algo_control.
- The i2c_control() call, used only by i2c-dev to call that
unused hook or set two barely supported adapter params.
(That param setting moves into i2c-dev.c ... still iffy
due to lack of locking, but no other changes.)
As shown by diffstat, this is a net code shrink. It also reduces the
complexity of the I2C adapter and /dev interfaces.

The I2C_M_RECV_LEN calling convention for i2c_mesg.flags involves
playing games with reported buffer lengths. (They start out less
than their actual size, and the length is then modified to reflect
how many bytes were delivered ... which one hopes is less than the
presumed actual size.) Refuse to play such error prone games across
the boundary between userspace and kernel.

Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.
I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.
There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
