Subject: [GIT PULL 05/14 for v6.17] vfs async dir

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This contains preparatory changes for the asynchronous directory locking
scheme. While the locking scheme is still very much controversial and
we're still far away from landing any actual changes in that area the
preparatory work that we've been upstreaming for a while now has been
very useful. This is another set of minor changes and cleanups.

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3)

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
