hypfs_create_cpu_files(): add missing check for hypfs_mkdir() failure
qibfs: fix _another_ leak

spufs: fix gang directory lifetimes
spufs: fix a leak on spufs_new_file() failure
Move machine type detection to the decompressor and use static branches
to implement and use machine_is_[lpar|vm|kvm]() instead of a runtime check
via MACHINE_IS_[LPAR|VM|KVM].

The s390_hypfs filesystem is deprecated and shouldn't be used due to its
rather odd semantics. It creates a whole directory structure with static
file contents so a user can read a consistent state while within that
directory.
Writing to its update attribute will remove and rebuild nearly the whole
filesystem, so that again a user can read a consistent state, even if
multiple files need to be read.
Given that this wastes a lot of CPU cycles, and involves a lot of code,
binary interfaces have been added quite a couple of years ago, which simply
pass the binary data to user space, and let user space decode the data.
This is the preferred and only way how the data should be retrieved.
The assumption is that there are no users of the s390_hypfs filesystem.
However instead of just removing the code, and having to revert in case
there are actually users, factor the filesystem code out and make it only
available via a new config option.
This config option is supposed to be disabled. If it turns out there are no
complaints the filesystem code can be removed probably in a couple of
years.
