Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."

commit cf4ca4874f removed the definition of NIPQUAD and NIPQUAD_FMT,
and NIP6 also is out of date.
commit 2874762b31 replace deprecated NIPQUAD marco to C code, but we can use %pI4 to
print IPv4 address more simply. And remove constant condition judge.
Because DEBUG_SDU is not defined in gdm_wimax.h, no error message when compiling.

This patch applies spinlock to protect access to rx / tx structs in
certain call sites, which fixes the following crash in gdm_suspend.
It also fixes usb_set_intfdata() in gdm_usb_probe to avoid setting an
already freed phy_dev.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.
2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.
3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.
4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.
5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.
6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.
7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
Borkmann.
8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.
From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.
From Eric Dumazet.
11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.
12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
From Stephen Hemminger.
13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.
Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.
I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of
__netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter
(which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems).
