[PATCH 0/6] powerpc/spufs: assorted fixes

Six independent fixes for spufs. There is no dependency between them,
so they can be applied or dropped individually.

  1/6  spufs_coredump_extra_notes_write() never drops the reference taken
       by coredump_next_context(), so every SPE context written into a
       core dump leaks a spu_context. The matching ..._size() path gets
       this right.

  2/6  do_spu_run() copies out an uninitialized 'status' on the paths
       where spufs_run_spu() returns before assigning it, leaking four
       bytes of kernel stack to userspace.

  3/6  spu_process_callback() only aligns the NPC value, never bounds it,
       before using it as an offset into the local store. The register is
       userspace-controlled, so the following in_be32() can be driven far
       past the 256K mapping.

  4/6  spufs_setattr() calls setattr_copy() without setattr_prepare().
       notify_change() leaves that check to the filesystem, so mode and
       ownership of a context's files can be changed without the usual
       authorization.

  5/6  spufs_create_gang() calls unuse_gang() with the parent directory's
       i_rwsem held for write, and the resulting simple_recursive_removal()
       takes it again as I_MUTEX_CHILD. The task deadlocks against itself
       and leaves the spufs directory write-locked.

  6/6  The mailbox read/write handlers hold ctx->state_mutex across
       put_user()/get_user(), so a userfaultfd region or FUSE-backed user
       buffer can stall the context lock for an arbitrary time.

Patches 1-5 are tagged for stable. 6/6 is deliberately not: it changes the
atomicity of multi-element mailbox transfers rather than just adding a
check, so it seems better to let it soak in mainline first.

Build-tested only. I have no Cell or PS3 hardware, so none of this has
been exercised at runtime.
