It's safe to remove the BKL from nvram_open(): there's no open()
versus read() races: nvram_init() is very simple and race-free,
it registers the device then puts it into /proc - there's no
state init to race with.

- Remove the BKL from agp_open
- Perform a few clean-ups.
Analysis:
---------
int minor is local to the function.
The following are protected by agp_fe.agp_mutex
struct agp_file_private *priv;
struct agp_client *client;
Call-outs:
kzalloc should be safe to call under the mutex_lock
agp_find_client_by_pid:
- agp_mmap calls that under agp_fe.agp_mutex which we hold in agp_open
- agpioc_reserve_wrap calls it without any locking what-so-ever.
- Is that an error? Or is that okay because it has pid that is
a unique handle?
agp_insert_file_private:
- This function only manipulates struct agp_file_private, once again
while agp_fe.agp_mutex is held

cycle_kernel_lock() got pushed down to ipath_open(). I tried hard to
understand what it might protect, but finally gave up.
Roland noted that qlogic seems to have abandoned the ipath driver and
came to the following wise conclusion: "So I guess if the BKL stuff is
blocking you in any way, we can just drop it from ipath and leave it
as yet another race condition in a rotting old driver."

The generic open callback for the mem class devices is "protected" by
the bkl.
Let's look at the datas manipulated inside memory_open:
- inode and file: safe
- the devlist: safe because it is constant
- the memdev classes inside this array are safe too (constant)
After we find out which memdev file operation we need to use, we call
its open callback. Depending on the targeted memdev, we call either
open_port() that doesn't manipulate any racy data (just a capable()
check), or we call nothing.
So it's safe to remove the big kernel lock there.

I really liked de69a80b, and it affecting hackbench shows I wasn't
crazy ;-)
So hackbench is a multi-cast, with one sender spraying multiple
receivers, who in their turn don't spray back.
This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously
we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task,
allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise
ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks.
Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the
buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender.
Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear
buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy
sticking around long after its served its time.
