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)

  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
