Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The va_list is designed to be used only once. The current code
may pass va_list arguments multiple times and may cause Oops.
Copy/release the arguments temporarily to avoid this problem.

disconnection (unregister)
- Deprecate snd_info_unregister(), use snd_info_free_entry()
- Removed NULL checks of snd_info_free_entry()

Semaphore to mutex conversion.
The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.

This patch corrects a typo in the kerneldocs of snd_info_get_str().
It also splits the expressions of snd_assert() in snd_info_unregister()
into one-expression-per-call for better debugging.

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.
Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.
I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
