Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
  merge things.

  I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches.  I've been
  wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
  prospects for success of the project.  But after speaking with Pavel
  at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
  completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
  complaining" stage regarding the net changes.  So I need to go back
  and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

* emailed from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (16 patches)
  memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix
  backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1
  C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()
  MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker
  MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo
  alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()
  simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
  scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open()
  libfs: add simple_open()
  hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module
  drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback
  fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures
  fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed
  fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr()
  sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()
  proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

&lt;smpl&gt;
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i-&gt;i_private)
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
|
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};
&lt;/smpl&gt;

This way the USB variant of the driver uses usb_make_path in order to
provide bus-info compatible to other USB drivers (like e.g. asix.c).

<title>wimax: i2400m - prevent a possible kernel bug due to missing fw_name string</title>

This happened on a machine with a custom hotplug script calling nameif,
probably due to slow firmware loading. At the time nameif uses ethtool
to gather interface information, i2400m-&gt;fw_name is zero and so a null
pointer dereference occurs from within i2400m_get_drvinfo().

<title>wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use</title>

A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

Also increments tx_dropped counter
