swap migration's isolate_lru_page() currently uses an IPI to notify other
processors that the lru caches need to be drained if the page cannot be
found on the LRU. The IPI interrupt may interrupt a processor that is just
processing lru requests and cause a race condition.
This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the
keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor. Processors disable
preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus
executing LRU draining from another process is safe.
Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> for finding this race
condition.

This was unexported by Arjan because we have no current users.
However, during a conversion from tasklets to workqueues of the parisc led
functions, we ran across a case where this was needed. In particular, the
open coded equivalent of cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue was implemented
incorrectly, which is, I think, all the evidence necessary that this is a
useful API.

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!
