Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fix from Al Viro: "Fix for 3.8 breakage introduced by "vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace" - accessing mnt->mnt_ns is done there without needed locking *and* without any real need. Definite -stable fodder, fortunately not going too far back. This is *not* all - there will be much bigger vfs pull request tomorrow." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: get rid of unprotected dereferencing of mnt->mnt_ns
