Always free the request, not just on error.

Small problem, we must of course also remember to take into account where the last service point was (or will be). deadline_get_last_sector() either returns the last offset serviced, or the last one that will be (back of dispatch queue). Otherwise the insert-at-head can be very unfair.

It appears that during the MODULE_LICENSE merge for pcmcia i82092 was missed. Here is a trivial patch to correct this.

This fixes a problem with the deadline io scheduler, if the correct insertion point is at the front of the list. This is something that we never have gotten right in 2.4 either. The problem is that the elevator merge function has to return a pointer to a struct request, and for front insert we really have to return the head of the list which cannot be expressed as a request of course. The real issue is that the elevator_merge function actually performs two functions - it scans for a merge, and if it can't find any, it selects and insertion point. It's done this way for efficiency reasons, even if the design isn't all that clean. So we change the io scheduler merge functions to get passed a pointer to a list_head pointer instead. This works for both inserts and merges. In addition, deadline checks if it really should insert at the very front. Also don't pass in request to elv_try_last_merge(), the very name of the function suggests that it's q->last_merge that we are interested in.

- XFS has started to use clear_page_dirty(), so we should export test_clear_page_dirty() to modules. This function is ued by the inlined clear_page_dirty(). It marks a page clean and updates the global dirty memory accounting. Anyone who cleans pagecache pages should use this, so the export makes sense. Can't implement aops->writepages() without it, really. - __mark_inode_dirty is no longer called under mapping->private_lock. Update comment.

That saves space in the generated binaries and make it easier to drop the lock just in one place.

Typedefs can't be forward declared, so we prefer structs, that can.
