When the frontend state changes netback now specifies its desired state to
a new function, set_backend_state(), which transitions through any
necessary intermediate states.
This fixes an issue observed with some old Windows frontend drivers where
they failed to transition through the Closing state and netback would not
behave correctly.

This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which
are not in kernel address space because these symbols are
generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at
kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms.
For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be
linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse
symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the
problem (introduced b9b32bf70f2fb710b07c94e13afbc729afe221da)

Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.
Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:
- Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
finally
- According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.
- ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.
Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

---[ end trace cb3d9bdb8dfefb3c ]---
This is provoked when the ASoC front end is open along with its backend,
(which causes the backend to have a runtime assigned to it) and then the
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_INFO is requested for the (visible) backend device.
Resolve this by ensuring that ASoC internal backend devices are not
visible to userspace, just as the commentry for snd_pcm_new_internal()
says it should be.
