Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull VFS fixes and cleanups from Al Viro. Most of this is the series to remove sync_supers() and the ->write_supers VFS callback from Artem Bityutskiy. One commit to do the actual removal work, a whole series of commits to fix up stale comments etc all over the tree. There's also a regression fix for an incorrect use of mnt_drop_write() in do_dentry_open(). * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: missed mnt_drop_write() in do_dentry_open() UBIFS: nuke pdflush from comments gfs2: nuke pdflush from comments drbd: nuke pdflush from comments nilfs2: nuke write_super from comments hfs: nuke write_super from comments vfs: nuke pdflush from comments jbd/jbd2: nuke write_super from comments btrfs: nuke pdflush from comments btrfs: nuke write_super from comments ext4: nuke pdflush from comments ext4: nuke write_super from comments ext3: nuke write_super from comments Documentation: fix the VM knobs descritpion WRT pdflush Documentation: get rid of write_super vfs: kill write_super and sync_supers
