[PATCH 1/2] Introduce mutex_lock_timeout

[Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>]

We have a couple of places in the tree that really could do with a
down_timeout() function.  I noticed it in qla2xxx and ACPI, but maybe
there are others that don't have the courtesy of putting "I wish we had
a down_timeout" comment beside their implementation.

I don't really want to poke at 25 different implementations of
down_timeout, but doing a mutex_timeout() seems easy enough, and at
least qla2xxx can use it.

I mused on whether to put the timeout argument into the struct
mutex, but on the whole, I thought it better to somewhat penalise
mutex_lock_interruptible(), mutex_lock_nested and the mutex lock slowpaths
in time than it was to penalise all mutex users in space.

Here's the patch to add mutex_lock_timeout().  I booted the resulting
kernel on a parisc machine, but I wouldn't claim to have done any real
testing.  It's fairly mechanical though.
