sched: add CONFIG_SMP consistency

Do not declare select_task_rq and some other methods as part of sched_class
when CONFIG_SMP is not set.
Also gather those methods to avoid CONFIG_SMP mess.

sched: revert back to per-rq vruntime
Vatsa rightly points out that having the runqueue weight in the vruntime
calculations can cause unfairness in the face of task joins/leaves.
Suppose: dv = dt * rw / w
Then take 10 tasks t_n, each of similar weight. If the first will run 1
then its vruntime will increase by 10. Now, if the next 8 tasks leave after
having run their 1, then the last task will get a vruntime increase of 2
after having run 1.
Which will leave us with 2 tasks of equal weight and equal runtime, of which
one will not be scheduled for 8/2=4 units of time.
Ergo, we cannot do that and must use: dv = dt / w.
This means we cannot have a global vruntime based on effective priority, but
must instead go back to the vruntime per rq model we started out with.
This patch was lightly tested by doing starting while loops on each nice level
and observing their execution time, and a simple group scenario of 1:2:3 pinned
to a single cpu.

sched: fair scheduler should not resched rt tasks
With use of ftrace Steven noticed that some RT tasks got rescheduled due
to sched_fair interaction.
What happens is that we reprogram the hrtick from enqueue/dequeue_fair_task()
because that can change nr_running, and thus a current tasks ideal runtime.
However, its possible the current task isn't a fair_sched_class task, and thus
doesn't have a hrtick set to change.
Fix this by wrapping those hrtick_start_fair() calls in a hrtick_update()
function, which will check for the right conditions.

sched: optimize group load balancer
I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus
in the sched_domain. This hurts.
We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched
entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new
weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value.
This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never
be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance
in semi-stable situations.

W1: ds2490.c reset ds2490 in init
Reset the device in init as it can be in a bad state. This is necessary
because a block write will wait for data to be placed in the output buffer
and block any later commands which will keep accumulating and the device
will not be idle. Another case is removing the ds2490 module while a bus
search is in progress, somehow a few commands get through, but the input
transfers fail leaving data in the input buffer. This will cause the next
read to fail see the note in ds_recv_data.

W1: ds2490.c simplify and fix ds_touch_bit
Simplify and fix ds_touch_bit. If a device is attached in the middle of a
bus search the status register will return more than the default 16 bytes.
The additional bytes indicate that it has detected a new device. The way
ds_wait_status is coded, if it doesn't read 16 status bytes it returns an
error value. ds_touch_bit then will detect that error and return an
error. In that case it doesn't read the input buffer and returns
uninitialized data. It doesn't stop there. The next transaction will not
expect the extra byte in the input buffer and the short read will cause an
error and clear out both the old byte and new data in the input buffer.
Just ignore the value of ds_wait_status. It is still required to wait
until ds2490 is again idle and there is data to read when ds_recv_data is
called. This also removes the while loop. None of the other commands
wait and verify that the issued command is in the status register.

W1: w1_therm fix user buffer overflow and cat
Fixed data reading bug by replacing binary attribute with device one.
Switching the sysfs read from bin_attribute to device_attribute. The data
is far under PAGE_SIZE so the binary interface isn't required. As the
device_attribute interface will make one call to w1_therm_read per file
open and buffer, the result is, the following problems go away.
buffer overflow:
Execute a short read on w1_slave and w1_therm_read_bin would still
return the full string size worth of data clobbering the user space
buffer when it returned. Switching to device_attribute avoids the
buffer overflow problems. With the snprintf formatted output dealing
with short reads without doing a conversion per read would have
been difficult.
bad behavior:
`cat w1_slave` would cause two temperature conversions to take place.
Previously the code assumed W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE would be returned with
each read. It would not return 0 unless the offset was less
than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE. The result was the first read did a
temperature conversion, filled the buffer and returned, the
offset in the second read would be less than
W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE and also fill the buffer and return, the
third read would finnally have a big enough offset to return 0
and cause cat to stop. Now w1_therm_read will be called at

Add a strong pullup option to the w1 system. This supplies extra power
for parasite powered devices. There is a w1_master_pullup sysfs entry and
enable_pullup module parameter to enable or disable the strong pullup.
The one wire bus requires at a minimum one wire and ground. The common
wire is used for sending and receiving data as well as supplying power to
devices that are parasite powered of which temperature sensors can be one
example. The bus must be idle and left high while a temperature
conversion is in progress, in addition the normal pullup resister on
larger networks or even higher temperatures might not supply enough power.
The pullup resister can't provide too much pullup current, because
devices need to pull the bus down to write a value. This enables the
strong pullup for supported hardware, which can supply more current when
requested. Unsupported hardware will just delay with the bus high.
The hardware USB 2490 one wire bus master has a bit on some commands which
will enable the strong pullup as soon as the command finishes executing.
To use strong pullup, call the new w1_next_pullup function to register the
duration. The next write command will call set_pullup before sending the
data, and reset the duration to zero once it returns.
