For immutable bvecs, all bi_idx usage needs to be audited - so here
we're removing all the unnecessary uses.
Most of these are places where it was being initialized on a bio that
was just allocated, a few others are conversions to standard macros.

This is a small cleanup, that also may turn error handling of
unitialized disks more readable. We don't need a separate variable to
track allocated disks, remove dr and reuse drive variable instead.

Since commit 070ad7e ("floppy: convert to delayed work and single-thread
wq"), we end up calling alloc_ordered_workqueue multiple times inside
the loop, which shouldn't be intended. Besides the leak, other side
effect in the current code is if blk_init_queue fails, we would end up
calling unregister_blkdev even if we didn't call yet register_blkdev.
Just moved the allocation of floppy_wq before the loop, and adjusted the
code accordingly.

__cancel_delayed_work() followed by queue_delayed_work() can be
replaced with mod_delayed_work().
Most conversions are straight-forward except for the following.
* net/core/link_watch.c: linkwatch_schedule_work() was doing a quite
elaborate dancing around its delayed_work. Collapse it such that
linkwatch_work is queued for immediate execution if LW_URGENT and

In commit 070ad7e793 ("floppy: convert to delayed work and
single-thread wq") the 'fd_timeout' timer was converted to a delayed
work. However, the "del_timer(&fd_timeout)" was lost in the process,
and any previous pending timeouts would stay active when we then
re-queued the timeout.
This resulted in the floppy probe sequence having a (stale) 20s timeout
rather than the intended 3s timeout, and thus made booting with the
floppy driver (but no actual floppy controller) take much longer than it
should.
Of course, there's little reason for most people to compile the floppy
driver into the kernel at all, which is why most people never noticed.
Canceling the delayed work where we used to do the del_timer() fixes the
issue, and makes the floppy probing use the proper new timeout instead.
The three second timeout is still very wasteful, but better than the 20s
one.

Block layer now handles O_EXCL in a generic way for block devices.
The semantics is however different for floppy and all other block devices,
as floppy driver contains its own O_EXCL handling.
The semantics for all-but-floppy bdevs is "there can be at most one O_EXCL
open of this file", while for floppy bdev the semantics is "if someone has
the bdev open with O_EXCL, noone else can open it".
There is actual userspace-observable change in behavior because of this
since commit e525fd89d3 ("block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive
access") -- on kernels containing this commit, mount of /dev/fd0 causes
the fd0 block device be claimed with _EXCL, preventing subsequent
open(/dev/fd0).
Bring things back into shape, i.e. make it possible, analogically to
other block devices, to mount the floppy and open() it afterwards --
remove the floppy-specific handling and let the generic bdev code O_EXCL
handling take over.

There are several races in floppy driver between bottom half
(scheduled_work) and timers (fd_timeout, fd_timer). Due to slowness
of the actual floppy devices, those races are never (at least to my
knowledge) triggered on a bare floppy metal. However on virtualized
(emulated) floppy drives, which are of course magnitudes faster
than the real ones, these races trigger reliably. They usually exhibit
themselves as NULL pointer dereferences during DMA setup, such as
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000a

but other instances can be easily seen as well. This can be observed at least under
VMWare, VirtualBox and KVM.
This patch converts all the timers and bottom halfs to be processed in a single
workqueue. This aproach has been already discussed back in 2010 if I remember
correctly, and Acked by Linus [1], but it then never made it to the tree.
This all is based on original idea and code of Stephen Hemminger. I have
ported original Stepen's code to the current state of the floppy driver, and
performed quite some testing (on real hardware), which didn't reveal any issues
(this includes not only writing and reading data, but also formatting
(unfortunately I didn't find any Double-Density disks any more)). Ability to
handle errors properly (supplying known bad floppies) has also been verified.

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.
This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."
H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.
They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.
Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."
So, let's finally drop this.

add_disk() takes gendisk reference on request queue. If driver failed during
initialization and never called add_disk() then that extra reference is not
taken. That reference is put in put_disk(). floppy driver allocates the
disk, allocates queue, sets disk->queue and then relizes that floppy
controller is not present. It tries to tear down everything and tries to
put a reference down in put_disk() which was never taken.
In such error cases cleanup disk->queue before calling put_disk() so that
we never try to put down a reference which was never taken in first place.
