Subject: [GIT PULL] Block core bits for 4.1-rc1

Hi Linus,

This is the core pull request for 4.1. Not a lot of stuff in here for
this round, mostly little fixes or optimizations. This pull request
contains:

- An optimization that speeds up queue runs on blk-mq, especially for
  the case where there's a large difference between nr_cpu_ids and
  the actual mapped software queues on a hardware queue. From Chong
  Yuan.

- Honor node local allocations for requests on legacy devices. From
  David Rientjes.

- Cleanup of blk_mq_rq_to_pdu() from me.

- exit_aio() fixup from me, greatly speeding up exiting multiple
  IO contexts off exit_group(). For my particular test case, fio
  exit took ~6 seconds. A typical case of both exposing RCU grace
  periods to user space, and serializing exit of them.

- Make blk_mq_queue_enter() honor the gfp mask passed in, so we only
  wait if __GFP_WAIT is set. From Keith Busch.

- blk-mq exports and two added helpers from Mike Snitzer, which will be
  used by the dm-mq code.

- Cleanups of blk-mq queue init from Wei Fang and Xiaoguang Wang.

Please pull!
