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

Pull second set of VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "Assorted f_pos race fixes, making do_splice_direct() safe to call with
  i_mutex on parent, O_TMPFILE support, Jeff's locks.c series,
  ->d_hash/->d_compare calling conventions changes from Linus, misc
  stuff all over the place."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)
  Document ->tmpfile()
  ext4: ->tmpfile() support
  vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules
  lseek_execute() doesn't need an inode passed to it
  block_dev: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  cpqphp_sysfs: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  tile-srom: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  proc_powerpc: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  ubi/cdev: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  pci/proc: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  isapnp: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  lpfc: switch to fixed_size_llseek()
  locks: give the blocked_hash its own spinlock
  locks: add a new "lm_owner_key" lock operation
  locks: turn the blocked_list into a hashtable
  locks: convert fl_link to a hlist_node
  locks: avoid taking global lock if possible when waking up blocked waiters
  locks: protect most of the file_lock handling with i_lock
  locks: encapsulate the fl_link list handling
  locks: make "added" in __posix_lock_file a bool
