Merge tag 'please-pull-pstore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux
Pull pstore patches from Tony Luck: "A few fixes to reduce places where pstore might hang a system in the crash path. Plus a new mountpoint (/sys/fs/pstore ... makes more sense then /dev/pstore)." Fix up trivial conflict in drivers/firmware/efivars.c * tag 'please-pull-pstore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux: pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path
