ca3a8ace2b RDMA/core: Return bool instead of int
Return bool for following internal and inline functions as their
underlying APIs return bool too.

1. cma_zero_addr()
2. cma_loopback_addr()
3. cma_any_addr()
4. ib_addr_any()
5. ib_addr_loopback()

While we are touching cma_loopback_addr(), remove extra white spaces
in it.

5b825c3af1 sched/headers: Prepare to remove <linux/cred.h> inclusion from <linux/sched.h>
Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.

Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

e6bd18f57a IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface
The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl().  This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.

For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.

For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).

The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.
