libblkid: remove optimization from verify( funrtion
Now libblkid (the cache based part) tries to probe for the cached
filesystem firstly. This optimization is broken, because:
* new another superblock could be on the device and the original
is already obsolete
* we still need to probe for partitions and raids
* the code was too fragile
The patch also suggests lsblk --fs in blkid.8 for end users. lsblk
read information from used db.

$ mount /root/.ssh/../../dev/sda2

Note that this bug has no relation to mount(2) permissions evaluation
in suid mode. The way how non-root user specifies paths on command
line is completely irrelevant for comparison with fstab entries.
Commit c550f728f724360f99aae0fdb45b0589d9a347e0 added O_EXCL when
opening the thing to erase. This broke the wipefs utility when used
on anything which isn't an unmounted filesystem. eg. If you use it on
a block device containing partitions, then it won't work because the
kernel recognizes the partitions and so thinks the device is in use.
This change adds the --force option which, when used, undoes the above
flag change. However you still have to use --force most of the time
when erasing something that isn't a plain unmounted filesystem.

lscpu: Fix issue found on CPU hot-remove
read_basicinfo() relies on sysfs cpu directories
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu%d" with assumption that cpu
logical number %d is always sequentially assigned for all
CPUs. However, this assumption is not correct with CPU
hot-remove operation since it removes a target sysfs cpu
directory after it is ejected. As a result, lscpu may not
recognize all CPUs.
The issue can be easily reproduced on KVM or VirtualBox,
which supports CPU eject operation, as follows.
1) The system has 4 CPUs
$ lscpu -a -e
CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2 ONLINE
0 0 0 0 0:0:0 yes
1 0 1 1 1:1:1 yes
2 0 2 2 2:2:2 yes
3 0 3 3 3:3:3 yes
3) lscpu no longer recognizes cpu3 after cpu2 is ejected
$ lscpu -a -e
CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2 ONLINE
0 0 0 0 0:0:0 yes
1 0 1 1 1:1:1 yes
The following changes are made to address this issue.
- Use maxcpus to allocate and parse bitmaps.
- Set desc->ncpu from cpu/present, which includes both on-line
and off-line CPUs.
- Add is_cpu_present() to check if a CPU is present. Ejected
CPUs are not present.

determine maximal number of CPUs,

mkswap: wipe old signature if there is no part table by default
Historically mkswap avoids wiping any signature on "whole disk",
until force option is given.
While the idea is that it should not wipe possible boot loader,
in reality it leads to many situations where e.g. LUKS device
is overwritten but still can be detected as LUKS (but unusable).
Patch chnges behaviour that only if partition table is detected,
signatures are not wiped.
Also it removes check for block device - loop device can now
map partitions in-kernel, so using mkswap on disk image in file
should behave the same as on disk.
Also it adds warning that know signature was wiped.

lsblk: fix processing of dm partition mappings
As blkid_devno_to_wholedisk returns parent dm device for
a partition mapping, the condition used in lsblk incorrectly
checked the parent-child relationship.
In this particular case, we need to process the dm partition
mapping like any other non-partition device as dm devices always
use proper holders/slaves sysfs hierarchy instead of
/sys/block/<parent>/<name> that is used for real partitions.
Example (test1 is a partition mapping and sdb1 is a real partition):
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 128M 0 disk
`-test (dm-0) 253:0 0 128M 0 dm
`-test1 (dm-1) 253:1 0 127M 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 128M 0 disk
`-sdb1 8:17 0 127M 0 disk
Before this patch (test1 skipped!):
$ lsblk -s /dev/mapper/test1
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
test (dm-0) 253:0 0 128M 0 dm
`-sda 8:0 0 128M 0 disk
$ lsblk -s /dev/sdb1
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdb1 8:17 0 127M 0 disk
`-sdb 8:16 0 128M 0 disk

test1 (dm-1) 253:1 0 127M 0 part
`-test (dm-0) 253:0 0 128M 0 dm

hwclock: don't warp the systemtime if the RTC is in UTC
A sideeffect of 839be2ba6b44fa9dc927f081d547ebadec9de19c is that we now

The behavior is correct if the RTC, and hence the systemtime, is
in localtime. However, if the systemtime is already in UTC we don't
want to touch it when we set the kernel timezone (which we still need to
do as some filesystems use this information).
