hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module
It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.
Quoted comments from Al.
Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong; it's not
an issue here (it's done too early to care about and realistically the box
is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt to exec /sbin/init fails,
if not earlier), but it's a damn bad example.
Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with that
we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between register and
failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we are screwed since
grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is enough to prevent
exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As the result, module will
get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that type be damned.
end of quote
So remove it.

sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()
Change send_sig_all() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED)
instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not
need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.
And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting
thread, while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kill the whole
process.
Some more notes from Oleg Nesterov:

Also,

So, this patch fixes the issue.

The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot
time. So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored
because ->s_root is already initialized.
As a consequence, "mount -o remount,<options>" will ignore the options.
To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.
