The base versions handle constant folding now and are shorter than these
private wrappers, use them directly.

<title>NTFS: Fix a mount time deadlock.</title>

Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.

The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
deadlock.

We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers.  This
has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
journal is large as we have clear it all.  One day someone should improve
on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

Local variable `i' is a byte-counter.  Don't use it as an index into an array

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).

- Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode().  Thanks to Sergey
  Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock.  The fix
  involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no
  longer has a -&gt;put_inode super operation.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.
