Merge branch 'for-3.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Merge block/IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
 "This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely
  because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4
  to give it a bit more time to simmer.  As a consequence, it's seen a
  long cycle in for-next.

  It contains:

   - Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type.
   - Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric.
   - A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg.  This improves
     the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes
     fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on
     switches.  The changes also include generic bug fixes.
   - A simple fix from Vivek, along with a fix for doing proper delayed
     allocation of the blkcg stats."

Fix up annoying conflict just due to different merge resolution in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
