Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted cleanups and fixes.
In the "trivial API change" department - ->d_compare() losing 'parent'
argument"
* 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
cachefiles: Fix race between inactivating and culling a cache object
9p: use clone_fid()
9p: fix braino introduced in "9p: new helper - v9fs_parent_fid()"
vfs: make dentry_needs_remove_privs() internal
vfs: remove file_needs_remove_privs()
vfs: fix deadlock in file_remove_privs() on overlayfs
get rid of 'parent' argument of ->d_compare()
cifs, msdos, vfat, hfs+: don't bother with parent in ->d_compare()
affs ->d_compare(): don't bother with ->d_inode
fold _d_rehash() and __d_rehash() together
fold dentry_rcuwalk_invalidate() into its only remaining caller
