Merge branch 'work.sane_pwd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Making sure that something like a referral point won't end up as pwd
or root.
The main part is the last commit (fixing mntns_install()); that one
fixes a hard-to-hit race. The fchdir() commit is making fchdir(2) a
bit more robust - it should be impossible to get opened files (even
O_PATH ones) for referral points in the first place, so the existing
checks are OK, but checking the same thing as in chdir(2) is just as
cheap.
The path_init() commit removes a redundant check that shouldn't have
been there in the first place"
* 'work.sane_pwd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
make sure that mntns_install() doesn't end up with referral for root
path_init(): don't bother with checking MAY_EXEC for LOOKUP_ROOT
make sure that fchdir() won't accept referral points, etc.
