Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull second vfs update from Al Viro:
 "Now that net-next went in...  Here's the next big chunk - killing
  ->aio_read() and ->aio_write().

  There'll be one more pile today (direct_IO changes and
  generic_write_checks() cleanups/fixes), but I'd prefer to keep that
  one separate"

* 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (37 commits)
  ->aio_read and ->aio_write removed
  pcm: another weird API abuse
  infinibad: weird APIs switched to ->write_iter()
  kill do_sync_read/do_sync_write
  fuse: use iov_iter_get_pages() for non-splice path
  fuse: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
  switch drivers/char/mem.c to ->read_iter/->write_iter
  make new_sync_{read,write}() static
  coredump: accept any write method
  switch /dev/loop to vfs_iter_write()
  serial2002: switch to __vfs_read/__vfs_write
  ashmem: use __vfs_read()
  export __vfs_read()
  autofs: switch to __vfs_write()
  new helper: __vfs_write()
  switch hugetlbfs to ->read_iter()
  coda: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
  ncpfs: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
  net/9p: remove (now-)unused helpers
  p9_client_attach(): set fid->uid correctly
