Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of misc stuff, without any unifying topic, from various
  people.

  Neil's d_anon patch, several bugfixes, introduction of kvmalloc
  analogue of kmemdup_user(), extending bitfield.h to deal with
  fixed-endians, assorted cleanups all over the place..."
