Fix pid charging logic in case of process enteringWho would've thought... Effective size of object in pid_2 cache
can be very well be smaller than size of object in pid_1 cache.
This depends on sizeof(struct foo), debug options, cache line sizes
and so on.
So, now, we charge bit more or uncharge a bit depending on sizes.

vmsplice_to_user() must always check the user pointer and length

The original patch breaks BIOS updates on all Dell machines. The path to

Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process.
Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the
iovec iterator does not always advance over them.
The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it
requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec

The proc net rewrite had a side effect on selinux, leading it to mislabel

security_genfs_sid to ignore extra leading / characters in the path supplied
by selinux_proc_get_sid since we now get "//net/..." rather than "/net/...".

b43legacy: fix DMA slot resource leakagepatch 8dd0100ce9511e52614ecd0a6587c13ce5769c8b in mainline.

This is done by storing the ring pointers before doing any ring
allocation and restoring the old pointers in case of an error.
