Linus Torvalds 96680d2b91 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/notify
Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris:
 "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system.  By
  switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now
  hold the lock across things like iput().  This fixes a problem
  involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out
  by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs.

  This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been
  broken since about 2.6.32."

Ugh.  I *hate* the timing of this.  It was rebased after the merge
window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day
before the merge window closes.  That's just crap.  But apparently the
patches themselves have been around for over a year, just gathering
dust, so now it's suddenly critical.

Fixed up semantic conflict in fs/notify/fdinfo.c as per Stephen
Rothwell's fixes from -next.
