Merge branch 'for-3.14' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
- Handle some loose ends from the vfs read delegation support.
(For example nfsd can stop breaking leases on its own in a
fewer places where it can now depend on the vfs to.)
- Make life a little easier for NFSv4-only configurations
(thanks to Kinglong Mee).
- Fix some gss-proxy problems (thanks Jeff Layton).
- miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanup
