wimax: move to staging
After I sent a fix for what appeared to be a harmless warning in
the wimax user interface code, the conclusion was that the whole
thing has most likely not been used in a very long time, and the
user interface possibly been broken since b61a5eea59 ("wimax: use
genl_register_family_with_ops()").
Using a shared branch between net-next and staging should help
coordinate patches getting submitted against it.

wimax: move out to staging
wimax: fix duplicate initializer warning
There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

gcc -Wextra points out multiple fields that use the same index '1'
in the wimax_gnl_policy definition:
net/wimax/stack.c:393:29: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
net/wimax/stack.c:397:28: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
net/wimax/stack.c:398:26: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
This seems to work since all four use the same NLA_U32 value, but it
still appears to be wrong. In addition, there is no intializer for
WIMAX_GNL_MSG_PIPE_NAME, which uses the same index '2' as
WIMAX_GNL_RFKILL_STATE.
Johannes already changed this twice to improve it, but I don't think
there is a good solution, so try to work around it by using a
numeric index and adding comments.

The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we
dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel.
It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later
time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged
quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that
forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the
code is abandonded and not used by anyone.
Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in
order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge
issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and
you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree
developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at
the current situation. Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel
copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems
for everyone involved.

tid_addr is not a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace)"; it is in
fact a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace) in userspace". So
sparse rightfully complains about passing a kernel pointer to
put_user().

Commit 453431a549 ("mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to
kfree_sensitive()") renamed kzfree() to kfree_sensitive(),
but it left a compatibility definition of kzfree() to avoid
being too disruptive.
Since then a few more instances of kzfree() have slipped in.
Just get rid of them and remove the compatibility definition
once and for all.

- During this merge window O_NONBLOCK was changed to become 000200000,

bit-wise check of the flags parameter.
To provide backward compatibility with existing userspace we
introduce parisc specific wrappers for those syscalls which filter
out the old O_NONBLOCK value and replaces it with the new one.

Pull random32 updates from Willy Tarreau:
"Make prandom_u32() less predictable.
This is the cleanup of the latest series of prandom_u32
experimentations consisting in using SipHash instead of Tausworthe to
produce the randoms used by the network stack.
The changes to the files were kept minimal, and the controversial
commit that used to take noise from the fast_pool (f227e3ec3b) was
reverted. Instead, a dedicated "net_rand_noise" per_cpu variable is
fed from various sources of activities (networking, scheduling) to
perturb the SipHash state using fast, non-trivially predictable data,
instead of keeping it fully deterministic. The goal is essentially to
make any occasional memory leakage or brute-force attempt useless.
The resulting code was verified to be very slightly faster on x86_64
than what is was with the controversial commit above, though this
remains barely above measurement noise. It was also tested on i386 and
arm, and build- tested only on arm64"
