Subject: [git pull] vfs.git bits and pieces

[Apologies for delay; I'd spent the last day hunting down something that
turned out to be a VM leak completely unrelated to this stuff - it's
present in mainline, for starters.  Unreliable reproducers make for fun
bisects ;-/  Anyway, by now I'm absolutely sure that this is a VM bug and
not something I had somehow managed to break, so...]

Assorted bits that got missed in the first pull request + fixes for
a couple of coredump regressions.  Please, pull from the usual place -
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-linus

Shortlog:
Al Viro (7):
      dump_align(): fix the dumb braino
      dump_emit(): use __kernel_write(), not vfs_write()
      gfs2: endianness misannotations
      consolidate simple ->d_delete() instances
      take read_seqbegin_or_lock() and friends to seqlock.h
      dcache.c: get rid of pointless macros
      fold try_to_ascend() into the sole remaining caller
