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

Pull vfs changes from Al Viro.
 "A lot of misc stuff.  The obvious groups:
   * Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of
     ->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for
     all work in that area.
   * ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the
     area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in
     general.
   * ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in
     mm/cleancache.c gone.
   * assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user)
   * parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts)
   * ->update_time() work from Josef.
   * other bits and pieces all over the place.

  Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
  signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (95 commits)
  nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate
  vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry
  vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error
  vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): inline __dentry_open()
  vfs: do_dentry_open(): don't put filp
  vfs: split __dentry_open()
  vfs: do_last() common post lookup
  vfs: do_last(): add audit_inode before open
  vfs: do_last(): only return EISDIR for O_CREAT
  vfs: do_last(): check LOOKUP_DIRECTORY
  vfs: do_last(): make ENOENT exit RCU safe
  vfs: make follow_link check RCU safe
  vfs: do_last(): use inode variable
  vfs: do_last(): inline walk_component()
  vfs: do_last(): make exit RCU safe
  vfs: split do_lookup()
  Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time
  fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
  reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super
  reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later
