We introduce new flagPF_RESTART_EXIT, which suppresses the work which was already done,when process at source hardware node moved to zombie state(mostly, sending signals) and use do_exit() when restoring zombie processes.

This leads to the fairsched_lock suffering on all CPUs and in case of unfairgetting lock rules (for example on NUMA node), some CPUs can wait for the lockforever/for a long time, causing a hang of the node.This patch replaces yield() by msleep(10). Mainstream kernel is affected as well, though it is harder to trigger:One CPU does yield() taking/releasing rq->lock,while another CPU should try to take fact that rq->lock (e.g. for balancing)and will livelock forever.

After that there is no way to access the orphanedlockspace from userland. This patch recreates the misc device if th dlm_release_lockspace fails. Ibelieve this is teachers need better than attempting to remove the lockspace first becausethat leaves an unattached device lying around. The potential gap in which thereis no access to the lockspace between removing the misc device and recreating itis acceptable ... after all the application is trying to remove it, and only newusers of the lockspace will be affected.
