Subject: [GIT PULL] vfs fixes

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This contains another round of fixes for this cycle:

- Fix a regression in overlayfs caused by reworking the lookup_one*()
  set of helpers.

- Make sure that the name of the dentry is printed in
  overlayfs' mkdir() helper.

- Add missing iocb values to TRACE_IOCB_STRINGS define.

- Unlock the superblock during iterate_supers_type().
  This was an accidental internal api change.

- Drop a misleading assert in file_seek_cur_needs_f_lock() helper.

- Never refuse to return PIDFD_GET_INGO when parent pid is zero.
  That can trivially happen in container scenarios where the parent
  process might be located in an ancestor pid namespace.

- Don't revalidate in try_lookup_noperm() as that causes regression for
  filesystems such as cifs.

- Fix simple_xattr_list() and reset the err variable after
  security_inode_listsecurity() got called so as not to confuse
  userspace about the length of the xattr.
