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

Pull vfs pile 1 from Al Viro:
 "Unfortunately, this merge window it'll have a be a lot of small piles -
  my fault, actually, for not keeping #for-next in anything that would
  resemble a sane shape ;-/

  This pile: assorted fixes (the first 3 are -stable fodder, IMO) and
  cleanups + %pd/%pD formats (dentry/file pathname, up to 4 last
  components) + several long-standing patches from various folks.

  There definitely will be a lot more (starting with Miklos'
  check_submount_and_drop() series)"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (26 commits)
  direct-io: Handle O_(D)SYNC AIO
  direct-io: Implement generic deferred AIO completions
  add formats for dentry/file pathnames
  kvm eventfd: switch to fdget
  powerpc kvm: use fdget
  switch fchmod() to fdget
  switch epoll_ctl() to fdget
  switch copy_module_from_fd() to fdget
  git simplify nilfs check for busy subtree
  ibmasmfs: don't bother passing superblock when not needed
  don't pass superblock to hypfs_{mkdir,create*}
  don't pass superblock to hypfs_diag_create_files
  don't pass superblock to hypfs_vm_create_files()
  oprofile: get rid of pointless forward declarations of struct super_block
  oprofilefs_create_...() do not need superblock argument
  oprofilefs_mkdir() doesn't need superblock argument
  don't bother with passing superblock to oprofile_create_stats_files()
  oprofile: don't bother with passing superblock to ->create_files()
  don't bother passing sb to oprofile_create_files()
  coh901318: don't open-code simple_read_from_buffer()
