Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t"
On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by
external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses),
just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by
commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the
assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on
the same word.
So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those
architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32).
So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t",
which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on
such architectures.
This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as
the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32
will probably need fixing.
Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane
atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

Fix file and directory removal in debugfs. Add inotify support for file removal.
The following scenario :
create dir a
create dir a/b
cd a/b (some process goes in cwd a/b)
rmdir a/b
rmdir a
fails due to the fact that "a" appears to be non empty. It is because
the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for
it to be deleted when it has no users.
The nice side-effect of this fix is that it calls the file removal
notification.
DebugFS : more file/directory creation error handling
Correct dentry count to handle creation errors.
This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal :
lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then,
the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated
with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns
an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference
counter, therefore making file removal impossible.
