Convert the S_&lt;FOO&gt; symbolic permissions to their octal equivalents as
using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/2/1945

Done with automated conversion via:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace &lt;files...&gt;

Miscellanea:

o Wrapped one multi-line call to a single line

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Just a tidy up to follow the standard EXPORT_SYMBOL*() declarations
in order to improve grep-ability.

- Move EXPORT_SYMBOL*() to the position right after its definition
- Remove superfluous blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL*() lines

We used to use kmalloc (more exactly, krealloc()) for creating and
growing the temporary buffer for text proc write.  It can grow up to
16kB, and it's already a bit doubtful whether it's always safe to use
kmalloc().  With the recent addition of kvmalloc(), we can have a
better chance for succeed of memory allocation, so let's switch to
that new API.

Currently the ALSA proc handler allows read or write even if the proc
file were write-only or read-only.  It's mostly harmless, does thing
but allocating memory and ignores the input/output.  But it doesn't
tell user about the invalid use, and it's confusing and inconsistent
in comparison with other proc files.

This patch adds some sanity checks and let the proc handler returning
an -EIO error when the invalid read/write is performed.

<title>ALSA: info: Limit the proc text input size</title>

The ALSA proc handler allows currently the write in the unlimited size
until kmalloc() fails.  But basically the write is supposed to be only
for small inputs, mostly for one line inputs, and we don't have to
handle too large sizes at all.  Since the kmalloc error results in the
kernel warning, it's better to limit the size beforehand.

This patch adds the limit of 16kB, which must be large enough for the
currently existing code.

The commit [c560a6797e3b: ALSA: core: Remove child proc file elements
recursively] converted snd_card_proc_new() with the normal
snd_info_*() call and removed snd_device chain for such info
entries. However, it misses one point: the creation of the proc entry
was managed by snd_device chain in the former code, and now it's also
gone, which results in no proc files creation at all.  Mea culpa.

This patch makes snd_info_card_register() creating the all pending
child proc entries in a shot.  Also, since snd_card_register() might
be called multiple times, this function is also changed to be callable
multiple times.

Along with the changes above, now the linked list of snd_info_entry is
added at creation time instead of snd_info_register() for keeping eyes
of pending info entries.
