Remove includes of &lt;linux/smp_lock.h&gt; where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

<content type='text'>
Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for sparc64

Fixes correctly the race by using *_ti_thread_flag.

Race :

parent process executing :
sys_ptrace()
 (lock_kernel())
 (ptrace_get_task_struct(pid))
 arch_ptrace()
   ptrace_detach()
     ptrace_disable(child);
       clear_singlestep(child);
         clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP);
         (which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different
          process)
 (put_task_struct(child))
 (unlock_kernel())

And at the same time, in the child process :
sys_execve()
 do_execve()
   search_binary_handler()
     load_elf_binary()
       flush_old_exec()
         flush_thread()
           doing a non-atomic thread flag update

We have to turn off the "polling nrflag" bit when we sleep
the cpu like this, so that we'll get a cross-cpu interrupt
to wake the processor up from the yield.

We also have to disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate around the yield
call and recheck need_resched() in order to avoid any races.

Set, but never used.

We used to use this for dynamic IRQ retargetting, but that
code died a long time ago.

For 32 cpus and a slow console, it just wedges the
machine especially with DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP enabled.

When saving and restoing trap state, do the window spill/fill
handling inline so that we never trap deeper than 2 trap levels.
This is important for chips like Niagara.

The window fixup code is massively simplified, and many more
improvements are now possible.
