Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.
In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.
This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code. It
changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of
media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags",
which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all
disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define
the media change notification capability.

Other than refrigerator, no one else calls frozen_process(). So move it from
include/linux/freezer.h to kernel/power/process.c.
Also, since a task can be marked as frozen by itself, we don't need to pass
the (struct task_struct *p) parameter to frozen_process().

This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.
* Freezer marks a thread as freezeable.
* The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE, but it will be frozen on
on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though it doesn't
want to.
* Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to thaw the task since it is
marked PF_NOFREEZE.
Avoid this problem by checking the task's PF_NOFREEZE status in
frozen_processes() before marking the task as frozen.

Currently try_to_freeze_tasks() has to wait until all of the vforked processes
exit and for this reason every user can make it fail. To fix this problem we
can introduce the additional process flag PF_FREEZER_SKIP to be used by tasks
that do not want to be counted as freezable by the freezer and want to have
TIF_FREEZE set nevertheless. Then, this flag can be set by tasks using
sys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(&vfork) and cleared after
they have woken up. After clearing it, the tasks should call try_to_freeze()
as soon as possible.

If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator()
before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is
frozen. In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it.
To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with
frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in
the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process().
Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are
not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending
"freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.

Reverted the change to struct v4l2_pix_format. I completely missed that
this struct was used by existing ioctls so that changing it broke the ABI.
I will have to think of another way of setting the top/left coordinates
but for now this change is reverted to preserve compatibility.
