Subject: [PATCH 0/5] a few devtmpfs patches

Patch 1 fixes a mostly theoretical problem, but as this is core code,
the pattern might be copy-pasted, so it might as well be fixed. The
remaining ones reduce memory footprint a bit by initifying a function
and factoring out common code.

Rasmus Villemoes (5):
  devtmpfs: fix theoretical stale pointer deref in devtmpfsd()
  devtmpfs: factor out setup part of devtmpfsd()
  devtmpfs: simplify initialization of mount_dev
  devtmpfs: initify a bit
  devtmpfs: factor out common tail of devtmpfs_{create,delete}_node
