When debugging via PRINTK() is not enabled, make the PRINTK()
macro be an empty do-while block.

Thix fixes a gcc warning when -Wextra is set:
../drivers/atm/nicstar.c:1819:23: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘else’ statement [-Wempty-body]

I have verified that there is no object code change (with gcc 7.5.0).

<title>atm: nicstar: Replace spin_is_locked() with spin_trylock()</title>

ns_poll() used spin_is_locked() + spin_lock() to get achieve the same
thing as a spin_trylock(), so simplify it by using that instead. This is
also a step towards possibly removing spin_is_locked().

This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
examples, in addition to some other variations.

Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = my_callback;

have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \
	-I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \
	-I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \

This mechanically converts all remaining cases of ancient open-coded timer
setup with the old setup_timer() API, which is the first step in timer
conversions. This has no behavioral changes, since it ultimately just
changes the order of assignment to fields of struct timer_list when
finding variations of:

    init_timer(&amp;t);
    f.function = timer_callback;
    t.data = timer_callback_arg;

to be converted into:

    setup_timer(&amp;t, timer_callback, timer_callback_arg);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script, which
is an improved version of scripts/cocci/api/setup_timer.cocci, in the
following ways:
 - assignments-before-init_timer() cases
 - limit the .data case removal to the specific struct timer_list instance
 - handling calls by dereference (timer-&gt;field vs timer.field)

<content type='text'>
Make these structures const as they are either passed to the function
atm_dev_register having the corresponding argument as const or stored in
the ops field of a atm_dev structure, which is also const.
Done using Coccinelle.

<content type='text'>
pci_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with pci_device_id provided by &lt;linux/pci.h&gt; work with
const pci_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  22781	    464	    128	  23373	   5b4d	drivers/atm/nicstar.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  22845	    400	    128	  23373	   5b4d	drivers/atm/nicstar.o

<title>idr: Return the deleted entry from idr_remove</title>

<content type='text'>
It is a relatively common idiom (8 instances) to first look up an IDR
entry, and then remove it from the tree if it is found, possibly doing
further operations upon the entry afterwards.  If we change idr_remove()
to return the removed object, all of these users can save themselves a
walk of the IDR tree.

<content type='text'>
This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*&lt;asm/uaccess.h&gt;'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

The script "checkpatch.pl" can point out that assignments should usually
not be performed within condition checks.
Thus move an assignment for a local variable to a separate statement
in this function.
