Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the vfs tree with Linus' tree

Hi Al,

Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in
fs/ext4/fsync.c between commit 14ece1028b3ed53ffec1b1213ffc6acaf79ad77c
("ext4: Make fsync sync new parent directories in no-journal mode") from
Linus' tree and commits 05b2fc7d1f1046fef1199e1a4d2f63df998ef3aa ("drop
unused dentry argument to ->fsync") and
8f1edffdb5a76f205cf45070e1552ee8b2239a2b ("rename the generic fsync
implementations") from the vfs tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix for a while.
