Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."
