Fix library compatibility

Commit 4d0d66bb795d1ed938e11a97a4e5f71326e20c71, implementing
tls-compat.h for pthread TLS compatibility, adds a prefix in front of
each TLS symbol (__tls_*). However, some of these symbols are exported
by the URCU library (e.g. rcu_reader_mb, defined in urcu.c as
"rcu_reader", which is overloaded by the urcu/map/urcu.h) to
applications. Therefore, this breaks binary compatibility with 0.6.x
versions of the library. This is not intended, and therefore is a bug,
so we remove this __tls_* prefix from the variables declared, defined
and referenced to through the tls-compat.h API for compilers supporting
"__thread".

Update return value of "set" operations

To follow the way the Linux kernel implements atomic_set(), we change
some API functions so they don't return any value anymore.

This is now the case for:

uatomic_set()
rcu_set_pointer()
rcu_assign_pointer()

This API change is very minor. In all instances of the Linux kernel
using rcu_assign_pointer(), none currently care about its return value.

However, we keep ABI compatibility: rcu_set_pointer_sym() still returns
the "v" value, even though it is not used by its wrapper macro anymore.

rculfhash: fix: race between replace and del operations

Bug introduced by commit db00ccc36e7fb04ce8044fb1be7964acd1de6ae0

Here is the race:

Initially in hash table:  A

T0                                         T1
replace A by B
                                           del A
  read A->next
  -> check REMOVED flag, not set yet.
                                           read A->next
                                           -> check REMOVED flag, not set yet.
  cmpxchg A->next to set REMOVED flag
  -> cmpxchg succeeds
                                           uatomic_or to set REMOVED flag
                                           uatomic_xchg to atomically set the REMOVAL_OWNER flag
                                           -> first to set the flag.
  Replace returns node -> free(A)          Del success -> free(A)

With this race, we have a double-free.

The problem with the replace code is that it does not set the
"REMOVAL_OWNER" flag.

Test case to reproduce the bug:

test_urcu_hash 0 2 20 -A -s -M 1 -N 1 -O 1

(2 threads, doing replace/del, with a hash table that has only a single
key for all values). After just a couple of seconds, either the program
hangs, or, more often, it does:

RCU lock-free hash table: implement cds_lfht_is_node_deleted()

Some thoughts on how to use the RCU lock-free hash table brought me to
figure out that using the lock-free hash table along with a per-node
mutex is a quite interesting way to deal with lookup vs teardown
coherency.

A per-node lock can be used to protect concurrent modifications of an
entry from one another, as well as concurrent read vs modification. In
addition, if we ensure that each reader/updater of the node checks if
the node has been removed right after taking the mutex, and if we
perform the node removal from the hash table with the per-node mutex
held, we can ensure that readers/updaters will never access unlinked
data.

struct mynode {
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
struct cds_lfht node;
}

CPU A (lookup destroy and free)           CPU B (lookup and read/modify)

                                          rcu_read_lock()
                                          mynode = caa_container_of(
                                                cds_lfht_lookup(...), ...);
                                          mutex_lock(&mynode->mutex);
                                          if (cds_lfht_is_node_deleted(
&mynode->node))
                                               goto unlock;

                                          read/modify structure....

                                        unlock:
                                          mutex_unlock(&mynode->mutex);
                                          rcu_read_unlock()

rcu_read_lock()
mynode = caa_container_of(
        cds_lfht_lookup(...), ...);

mutex_lock(&mynode->mutex);

cds_lfht_del(ht, &mynode->node);

- perform extra teardown operations
  with side-effects, for which call_rcu
  delay is not appropriate

mutex_unlock(&mynode->mutex);
rcu_read_unlock()
call_rcu(free, mynode);

To perform this efficiently, we need an API function to return whether
the node previously looked-up has been deleted since then.

passing a node pointer (that would have been looked up from another data
structure, thus not using the iterator) as argument for deletion.

Deletion still returns -ENOENT if asked to delete the NULL node. This
simplifies the caller usage.

rculfhash: number of logically removed nodes should not appear in API

This is an implementation artefact that should not appear in the API. So
only count the non-removed nodes. Print a debug message showing the
number of logically removed nodes instead within the count nodes
function.

rculfhash: Simplify default logic

rculfhash: default mm type

In the original patch from Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>:

When I test backend with the following commands.
(my box is x86_64 with 4 cores/logic cpus)
**(test with Load factor = 100% only)**

./tests/test_urcu_hash 4 0 10 -B mmap -h $((1<<19)) -p $((1<<19))
./tests/test_urcu_hash 4 0 10 -B mmap -h $((1<<18)) -p $((1<<18))
./tests/test_urcu_hash 4 0 10 -B mmap -h $((1<<17)) -p $((1<<17))
./tests/test_urcu_hash 4 0 10 -B mmap -h $((1<<16)) -p $((1<<16))
                    4readers/no writer

It shows that mmap backend is about 6% better over order backend.
(It also shows that chunk backend is (worse than)/(the same as) order
backend for small/large min_nr_alloc_buckets. (use -m when test)).

Note:
"6%" and the google-perftools told us the bucket_at() is not the
critical bottleneck.

new strategy:
* infinite buckets size                  --> order mm
* otherwise if 64bits,
   with number of buckets <= (1 << 32)   --> mmap mm
* otherwise                              --> order mm
