Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of
  this pile"
