Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base

Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.

It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:

commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date:   Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200

    Prepare v4.1.3-rt3

    Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

+ * ntfs_attr_extend_initialized - extend the initialized size of an attribute
+ * @ni:			ntfs inode of the attribute to extend
+ * @new_init_size:	requested new initialized size in bytes
+ *
+ * Extend the initialized size of an attribute described by the ntfs inode @ni
+ * to @new_init_size bytes.  This involves zeroing any non-sparse space between
+ * the old initialized size and @new_init_size both in the page cache and on
+ * disk (if relevant complete pages are already uptodate in the page cache then
+ * these are simply marked dirty).
+ *
+ * As a side-effect, the file size (vfs inode->i_size) may be incremented as,
+ * in the resident attribute case, it is tied to the initialized size and, in
+ * the non-resident attribute case, it may not fall below the initialized size.
+ *
+ * Note that if the attribute is resident, we do not need to touch the page
+ * cache at all.  This is because if the page cache page is not uptodate we
+ * bring it uptodate later, when doing the write to the mft record since we
+ * then already have the page mapped.  And if the page is uptodate, the
+ * non-initialized region will already have been zeroed when the page was
+ * brought uptodate and the region may in fact already have been overwritten
+ * with new data via mmap() based writes, so we cannot just zero it.  And since
+ * POSIX specifies that the behaviour of resizing a file whilst it is mmap()ped
+ * is unspecified, we choose not to do zeroing and thus we do not need to touch
+ * the page at all.  For a more detailed explanation see ntfs_truncate() in
+ * fs/ntfs/inode.c.
+ *
+ * Return 0 on success and -errno on error.  In the case that an error is
+ * encountered it is possible that the initialized size will already have been
+ * incremented some way towards @new_init_size but it is guaranteed that if
+ * this is the case, the necessary zeroing will also have happened and that all
+ * metadata is self-consistent.
+ *
+ * Locking: i_mutex on the vfs inode corrseponsind to the ntfs inode @ni must be
+ *	    held by the caller.
