[RFC PATCH for 4.17 00/21] Restartable sequences and CPU op vector

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi,

I'm respinning this series for another RFC round. It is based on the
v4.16-rc7 tag. I am now targeting the 4.17 merge window.

This series contains:

- Restartable sequences system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32),
- CPU operation vector system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32).

The main changes introduced in this updated version are:

- new cpu_opv flag to query the number of operations supported by the
  system call (added associated test-cases),
- Fix error handling when cpu_opv receives a cpu number not part of the
  allowed cpu mask (added associated test-cases).

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
