Pull char / misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the big char and misc driver update for 4.7-rc1.
Lots of different tiny driver subsystems have updates here with new
drivers and functionality. Details in the shortlog.
All have been in linux-next with no reported issues for a while"

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

Do release the resources when msu subdevice gets removed: stop the
capture if it is active (which is still possible even though the
module in pinned) and free the capture buffers.

Right now it's possible to unload the msu driver while its character
device is open. Prevent it by setting fops::owner, which will result
in the module reference being held while the device node is open.

In order to guarantee that readers don't race with trace enabling,
both should happen under the same mutex. Having two mutexes seems
like an overkill, considering that because of the above, they'll
have to be acquired together, around trace enabling and char device
opening.
This patch makes both buffer accesses and readers serialize on
msc::buf_mutex and makes sure that 'enabled' flag accesses are also
serialized on it.

Right now, reading from msc character device will leak its's user count
on read error.
This patch makes sure resources are released when there is no data left
to read from the buffer.

devm_ioremap() returns NULL on error, it doesn't return an ERR_PTR,
which is what the current code does. This patch corrects these

Memory Storage Unit (MSU) is a trace output device that collects trace
data to system memory. It consists of 2 independent Memory Storage
Controllers (MSCs).
This driver provides userspace interfaces to configure in-memory tracing
parameters, such as contiguous (high-order allocation) buffer or multiblock
(scatter list) buffer mode, wrapping (data overwrite) and number and sizes
of windows in multiblock mode. Userspace can read the buffers via mmap()ing
or read()ing of the corresponding device node.
