Only check that RMPP version is not specified when MAD class does not
support RMPP. Just because a class is allowed to use RMPP doesn't
mean that rmpp_version needs to be set for the MAD agent to
register. Checking this was a recent change which was too pedantic.

I was sloppy when generating a previous patch; I modified the callers of
krb5_make_checksum() to allocate memory for the buffer where the result is

return -1;
...
memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1);
where sizeof bt->write_data is IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH. It looks like the
memcpy would overflow by 2 bytes if size == IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH. A patch
attached to limit size to (IPMI_MAX_LENGTH - 2).

DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration.
During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like
mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it
goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the
checking. For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen
more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set
DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that
the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.

There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and
access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we
need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd
table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might
see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch
fixes those special places where such a race may happen.
