d_alloc() failure in configfs_register_subsystem() would fail to unlock
the mutex taken above.  Reorganize the exit path to ensure the unlock
happens.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

<title>configfs: Zero terminate data in configfs attribute writes.</title>

<content type='text'>
Attributes in configfs are text files.  As such, most handlers expect to be
able to call functions like simple_strtoul() without checking the bounds
of the buffer.  Change the call to zero terminate the buffer before calling
the client's -&gt;store() method.  This does reduce the attribute size from
PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE-1.

Also, change get_zeroed_page() to alloc_page(), as we are handling the
termination.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file &gt;/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"
