Although the C language allows you to break strings across lines, doing
this makes it hard for people to find the Linux kernel code corresponding
to a given console message.  This commit therefore fixes broken strings
throughout RCU's source code.

We were bitten by this at one point and added an additional sanity test
for DEBUG_LIST.  You can't validly add a list_head to a list where either
prev or next is the same as the thing you're adding.

* Make __list_add_rcu check the next-&gt;prev and prev-&gt;next pointers
  just like __list_add does.
* Make list_del_rcu use __list_del_entry, which does the same checking
  at deletion time.

Has been running for a week here without anything being tripped up,
but it seems worth adding for completeness just in case something
ever does corrupt those lists.

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
  need it.

  These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously.  We now have
  things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
  subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
  remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
  single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.

  Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
  independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).

* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
  includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

With bug.h currently living right in linux/kernel.h there
are files that use BUG_ON and friends but are not including
the header explicitly.  Fix them up so we can remove the
presence in kernel.h file.

lib/average.c:38: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function)
lib/list_debug.c:24: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function)

and TAINT_WARN comes from include/linux/kernel.h file.

When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.

However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.

So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

Use the magic LIST_POISON* values to detect an incorrect use of list_del

Arjan noted that the list_head debugging is BUG'ing when it detects
corruption.  By causing the box to panic immediately, we're possibly
losing some bug reports.  Changing this to a WARN() should mean we at the
least start seeing reports collected at kerneloops.org
