Subject: [git pull] vfs pile 1

	In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.
* recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.
* nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is that
the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how nested).
* "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.
* stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now -
about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested symlinks
and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.
* struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even opaque
pointers are being passed around).
* ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions had been changed;
all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be able to follow
reasonably easy; see Documentation/filesystems/porting for details (and
in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).

That has sat in -next since mid-May, seems to survive all testing without
regressions and merges clean with v4.1.  Please, pull from
