Subject: nvram: Drop the BKL from nvram_open()

It's safe to remove the BKL from nvram_open(): there's no open()
versus read() races: nvram_init() is very simple and race-free,
it registers the device then puts it into /proc - there's no
state init to race with.

Subject: futex: Protect pid lookup in compat code with RCU

find_task_by_vpid() in compat_sys_get_robust_list() does not require
tasklist_lock. It can be protected with rcu_read_lock as done in
sys_get_robust_list() already.

Subject: genirq: Fix documentation of default chip disable()

The documentation says that by default disable() will be
chip->mask but in fact default_disable() is a noop.
