2b1e300a9d [NETNS]: Fix /proc/net breakage
Well I clearly goofed when I added the initial network namespace support
for /proc/net.  Currently things work but there are odd details visible to
user space, even when we have a single network namespace.

Since we do not cache proc_dir_entry dentries at the moment we can just
modify ->lookup to return a different directory inode depending on the
network namespace of the process looking at /proc/net, replacing the
current technique of using a magic and fragile follow_link method.

To accomplish that this patch:
- introduces a shadow_proc method to allow different dentries to
  be returned from proc_lookup.
- Removes the old /proc/net follow_link magic
- Fixes a weakness in our not caching of proc generic dentries.

As shadow_proc uses a task struct to decided which dentry to return we can
go back later and fix the proc generic caching without modifying any code
that uses the shadow_proc method.

80cbd911ca Fix kmem_cache_free performance regression in slab
The database performance group have found that half the cycles spent
in kmem_cache_free are spent in this one call to BUG_ON.  Moving it
into the CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG-only function cache_free_debugcheck() is a
performance win of almost 0.5% on their particular benchmark.

The call was added as part of commit ddc2e812d5
with the comment that "overhead should be minimal".  It may have been
minimal at the time, but it isn't now.

[ Quoth Pekka Enberg: "I don't think the BUG_ON per se caused the
  performance regression but rather the virt_to_head_page() changes to
  virt_to_cache() that were added later." ]

IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu

When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU,
it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac.

01e1f045e6 ieee80211: fix unaligned access in ieee80211_copy_snap
There is no guarantee that data+SNAP_SIZE will reside on an even numbered
address, so doing a 16 bit read will cause an unaligned access in some
situations. Based on a patch from Jun Sun.

a10605e599 mac80211: free ifsta->extra_ie and clear IEEE80211_STA_PRIVACY_INVOKED
I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better
solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.

Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).
