There was a subtle bug in how tasks were bound to CPUs which could result
in an "infinite loop" error. The problem was various socket/core/threasd
calculations were based upon the resources allocated to a step rather than
all resources on the node and rounding errors could occur. Consider for
example a node with 2 sockets, 6 cores per socket and 2 threads per core.
On the idle node, a job requesting 14 CPUs is submitted. That job would
be allocted 4 cores on the first socket and 3 cores on the second socket.
The old logic would get the number of sockets for the job at 2 and the
number of cores at 7, then calculate the number of cores per socket at
7/2 or 3 (rounding down to an integer). The logic layouting out tasks
would bind the first 3 cores on each socket to the job then not find any
remaining cores, report the "infinite loop" error to the user, and run
the job without one of the expected cores. The problem gets even worse
when there are some allocated cores on a node. In a more extreme case,
a job might be allocated 6 cores on one socket and 1 core on a second
socket. In that case, 3 of that job's cores would be unused.

This is a revision to commit 1ed38f26
The root problem is that a pthread is passed an argument which is
a pointer to a variable on the stack. If that variable is over-written,
the signal number recieved will be garbage, and that bad signal
number will be interpretted by srun to possible abort the request.

The previous commit obviously fixed a problem, but introduced a different
set of problems. This will be pursued later, perhaps in version 16.05.

With some configurations and systems, errors of the following sort were
occuring:
task/cgroup: task[1] infinite loop broken while trying to provision compute elements using block
task/cgroup: task[1] unable to set taskset '0x0'

Running "scontrol reconfig" releases resources for jobs waiting for
  the completion of Node Health Check so that other jobs can run.
  Cray says to always wait for NHC to complete, but in extreme
  cases that can be 2 hours, during which the entire resource
  allocation for a job may be unusable. Per advice from NERSC,
  the logic to release resources is unchanged, but logging is
  added here.

Fix gang scheduling resource selection bug which could prevent multiple jobs
    from being allocated the same resources. Bug was introduced in 15.08.6,
    commit 44f491b8

Here's how to reproduce on smd-server with 2 sockets, 6 cores per
socket and 2 threads per core, just run the following command line
3 times in quick succession (all active at the same time):
srun --cpus-per-task=4 -m block sleep 30
What was happening is the first job would be allocated cores 0+1
The second job would be allocated cores 2+3
The thrid job would test use of cores 0-3 then exit because the
 job only needs 4 CPUs. The resulting core binding would include
 NO CPUs. The new logic tests that the core being considered for
 use actually has some resources available to the job before
 updating the counter which is being tested against the needed
 CPU counter.

Specifically add the HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_WHOLE_SYSTEM flag when
loading configuration from HWLOC library. Previous logic in
task/cgroup did not do this, which was different behaviour from
how slurmd gets configuration information. Here's the HWLOC
documentation:
HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_WHOLE_SYSTEM
Detect the whole system, ignore reservations and offline settings.
Gather all resources, even if some were disabled by the administrator.
For instance, ignore Linux Cpusets and gather all processors and memory
nodes, and ignore the fact that some resources may be offline.

Without this flag, I was rarely observing a bad core count, which
resulted in the logic layout out tasks wrong and generating an error:
task/cgroup: task[0] infinite loop broken while trying to provision compute elements using cyclic

Bug 2576

What happened was a function was doing a double read lock which isn't
awesome to begin with, but not really horrible (if all you are doing is
read locks anyway).  The problem was after the first lock was locked a
different thread was going for a write lock and so when the second
read lock came in it created deadlocked.

Avoid possibly aborting srun that gets simultaneous SIGSTOP+SIGCONT while
    creating the job step. The result is that the signal hanlder gets a
    argument (the signal received) of zero.

Here's a log, window 1:

srun: Job step creation temporarily disabled, retrying
srun: I Got signal 18

The code just wasn't fully baked before and was probably written before
a lot of the other supporting code was done i.e
assoc_mgr_set_assoc|qos_tres_cnt were done specifically for this kind of
thing.  Many of the usage structures weren't realloced either as well as
the tres_cnt local to each qos and assoc wasn't updated.  So all in all
pretty bad code - bad Danny.  This makes sure all this sets up and no
memory corruption happens.
