Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull  more VFS bits from Al Viro:
 "Unfortunately, it looks like xattr series will have to wait until the
  next cycle ;-/

  This pile contains 9p cleanups and fixes (races in v9fs_fid_add()
  etc), fixup for nommu breakage in shmem.c, several cleanups and a bit
  more file_inode() work"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  constify path_get/path_put and fs_struct.c stuff
  fix nommu breakage in shmem.c
  cache the value of file_inode() in struct file
  9p: if v9fs_fid_lookup() gets to asking server, it'd better have hashed dentry
  9p: make sure ->lookup() adds fid to the right dentry
  9p: untangle ->lookup() a bit
  9p: double iput() in ->lookup() if d_materialise_unique() fails
  9p: v9fs_fid_add() can't fail now
  v9fs: get rid of v9fs_dentry
  9p: turn fid->dlist into hlist
  9p: don't bother with private lock in ->d_fsdata; dentry->d_lock will do just fine
  more file_inode() open-coded instances
  selinux: opened file can't have NULL or negative ->f_path.dentry

(In the meantime, the hlist traversal macros have changed, so this
required a semantic conflict fixup for the newly hlistified fid->dlist)
