Merge branch 'work.mqueue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull mqueue/bpf vfs cleanups from Al Viro:
"mqueue and bpf go through rather painful and similar contortions to
create objects in their dentry trees. Provide a primitive for doing
that without abusing ->mknod(), switch bpf and mqueue to it.
Another mqueue-related thing that has ended up in that branch is
on-demand creation of internal mount (based upon the work of Giuseppe
Scrivano)"
* 'work.mqueue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
mqueue: switch to on-demand creation of internal mount
tidy do_mq_open() up a bit
mqueue: clean prepare_open() up
do_mq_open(): move all work prior to dentry_open() into a helper
mqueue: fold mq_attr_ok() into mqueue_get_inode()
move dentry_open() calls up into do_mq_open()
mqueue: switch to vfs_mkobj(), quit abusing ->d_fsdata
bpf_obj_do_pin(): switch to vfs_mkobj(), quit abusing ->mknod()
new primitive: vfs_mkobj()
