Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  inotify: fix type errors in interfaces
  fix breakage in reiserfs_new_inode()
  fix the treatment of jfs special inodes
  vfs: remove duplicate code in get_fs_type()
  add a vfs_fsync helper
  sys_execve and sys_uselib do not call into fsnotify
  zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocation
  inode->i_op is never NULL
  ntfs: don't NULL i_op
  isofs check for NULL ->i_op in root directory is dead code
  affs: do not zero ->i_op
  kill suid bit only for regular files
  vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
