    Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
     "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
      old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
      conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
      are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
      outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
      stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
      filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
      next cycle fodder.
    
      It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
      probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
      commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
      the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
      to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
    
      That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches...
