Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute

API.
It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and
kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed.
Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the
kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function.

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a
spinlock.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

PS: there's a large pending series reworking the refcounting and
lifetime rules for vfsmounts that will, among other things, allow to
rip a subtree away _without_ dissolving connections in it, to be
garbage-collected when all active references are gone. It's
considerably saner wrt "is the subtree busy" logics, but it's nowhere
near being ready for merge at the moment; this changeset is one of the
things becoming possible with that sucker, but it certainly shouldn't
have been picked during this cycle. My apologies..."

We recently go rid of all callers of do_sync_file_range as they're better
served with vfs_fsync or the filemap_write_and_wait. Now that
do_sync_file_range is down to a single caller fold it into it so that people
don't start using it again accidentally. While at it also switch it from
using __filemap_fdatawrite_range(..., WB_SYNC_ALL) to the more clear
filemap_fdatawrite_range().
