notifier: Fix broken error handling pattern
The current notifiers have the following error handling pattern all over the place: int err, nr; err = __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_up, v, -1, &nr); if (err & NOTIFIER_STOP_MASK) __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_down, v, nr-1, NULL) And aside from the endless repetition thereof, it is broken. Consider blocking notifiers; both calls take and drop the rwsem, this means that the notifier list can change in between the two calls, making @nr meaningless. Fix this by replacing all the __foo_notifier_call_chain() functions with foo_notifier_call_chain_robust() that embeds the above pattern, but ensures it is inside a single lock region. Note: I switched atomic_notifier_call_chain_robust() to use the spinlock, since RCU cannot provide the guarantee required for the recovery. Note: software_resume() error handling was broken afaict.
