The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,

The user stack trace can fault when examining the trace. Which
would call the do_page_fault handler, which would trace again,
which would do the user stack trace, which would fault and call
do_page_fault again ...

Thus this is causing a recursive bug. We need to have a recursion
detector here.

<title>block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIER</title>

<content type='text'>
REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
at this point is:

 - various checks inside the block layer.
 - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
   better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

s390 doesn't need FRAME_POINTERS in order to have a working function tracer.
We don't need frame pointers in order to get strack traces since we always
have valid backchains by using the -mkernel-backchain gcc option.
