Most of dma-debug.h is not required by anything outside of kernel/dma.
Move the four declarations needed by dma-mappin.h or dma-ops providers
into dma-mapping.h and dma-map-ops.h, and move the remainder of the
file to kernel/dma/debug.h.

<title>dma-debug: remove debug_dma_assert_idle() function</title>

<content type='text'>
This remoes the code from the COW path to call debug_dma_assert_idle(),
which was added many years ago.

Google shows that it hasn't caught anything in the 6+ years we've had it
apart from a false positive, and Hugh just noticed how it had a very
unfortunate spinlock serialization in the COW path.

He fixed that issue the previous commit (a85ffd59bd36: "dma-debug: fix
debug_dma_assert_idle(), use rcu_read_lock()"), but let's see if anybody
even notices when we remove this function entirely.

NOTE! We keep the dma tracking infrastructure that was added by the
commit that introduced it.  Partly to make it easier to resurrect this
debug code if we ever deside to, and partly because that tracking by pfn
and offset looks quite reasonable.

The problem with this debug code was simply that it was expensive and
didn't seem worth it, not that it was wrong per se.

Since commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common()
logic") improved unlock_page(), it has become more noticeable how
cow_user_page() in a kernel with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y can create and
suffer from heavy contention on DMA debug's radix_lock in
debug_dma_assert_idle().

It is only doing a lookup: use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
instead; though that does require the static ents[] to be moved
onstack...

...but, hold on, isn't that radix_tree_gang_lookup() and loop doing
quite the wrong thing: searching CACHELINES_PER_PAGE entries for an
exact match with the first cacheline of the page in question?
radix_tree_gang_lookup() is the right tool for the job, but we need
nothing more than to check the first entry it can find, reporting if
that falls anywhere within the page.

(Is RCU safe here? As safe as using the spinlock was. The entries are
never freed, so don't need to be freed by RCU. They may be reused, and
there is a faint chance of a race, with an offending entry reused while
printing its error info; but the spinlock did not prevent that either,
and I agree that it's not worth worrying about. ]

[ Side noe: this patch is a clear improvement to the status quo, but the
  next patch will be removing this debug function entirely.

  But just in case we decide we want to resurrect the debugging code
  some day, I'm first applying this improvement patch so that it doesn't
  get lost    - Linus ]

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
