Merge tag 'driver-core-3.18-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are 3 tiny fixes for 3.18-rc4.
One fixes up a long-stading race condition in the driver core for
removing directories in /sys/devices/virtual/ and the other 2 fix up
the wording of a new Kconfig option that was added in 3.18-rc1"
* tag 'driver-core-3.18-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
tiny: rename ENABLE_DEV_COREDUMP to ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP
tiny: reverse logic for DISABLE_DEV_COREDUMP
sysfs: driver core: Fix glue dir race condition by gdp_mutex
