Michel Lespinasse cleaned up the futex calling conventions in commit
37a9d912b2 ("futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API").
But the ia64 implementation was subtly broken. Gcc does not know that
register "r8" will be updated by the fault handler if the cmpxchg
instruction takes an exception. So it feels safe in letting the
initialization of r8 slide to after the cmpxchg. Result: we always
return 0 whether the user address faulted or not.
Fix by moving the initialization of r8 into the __asm__ code so gcc
won't move it.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
