Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Miscellaneous kdbus fixes and code removal

Hi Greg

A set of 6 patches to drop unused code and fix some bugs:

 #1: simple fix for test-cases
 #2: drop redundant internal accounting
 #3: drop unused structure member
 #4: drop support for an HELLO-ioctl item that was never used. If this breaks
     some user-space we're not aware of, we will have to revert it. But I
     haven't seen anything using this so far. This does *not* break ABI, but
     only cause the ioctl to fail if you pass that item.
 #5: pin namespaces on kdbus-connections to simplify namespace handling, further
     described in the commit-msg
 #6: fix a NULL-deref

Thanks
David
