Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs bits and pieces from Al Viro:
"Assorted bits that got missed in the first pull request + fixes for a
couple of coredump regressions"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
fold try_to_ascend() into the sole remaining caller
dcache.c: get rid of pointless macros
take read_seqbegin_or_lock() and friends to seqlock.h
consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances
gfs2: endianness misannotations
dump_emit(): use __kernel_write(), not vfs_write()
dump_align(): fix the dumb braino
