The transaction task here is hp_sdc_tasklet() and it releases the lock.
The problem is if we aren't able to queue the transaction then we need
to release the lock ourselves.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.
These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.

Commit 55929332c9 "drivers: Push down BKL into various drivers"
introduced a regression in hp_sdc_rtc, caused by a missing
change of the .unlocked_ioctl pointer to the newly introduced
function.

cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should
ensure the serializiation against driver init code. In this case there
is nothing to serialize. Remove it.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

Kill compiler warnings related to printf() formats in the input drivers for
various HP9000 machines, which are shared between PA-RISC (suseconds_t is int)
and m68k (suseconds_t is long). As both are 32-bit, it's safe to cast to int.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Clean up several code points in which the return code from misc_register is
not handled properly.
Several modules failed to deregister various hooks when misc_register fails,
and this patch cleans them up. Also there are a few modules that legitimately
don't care about the failure status of misc register. These drivers however
unilaterally call misc_deregister on module unload.
Since misc_register doesn't initialize the list_head in the init_routine if it
fails, the deregister operation is at risk for oopsing when list_del is
called. The initial solution was to manually init the list in the miscdev
structure in each of those modules, but the consensus in this thread was to
consolodate and do that universally inside misc_register.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
