Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull fs fixes from Al Viro: "Fairly old hostfs bug (in setups that are not used by anyone, apparently) + fix for this cycle regression: extra dput/mntput in LOOKUP_CACHED failure handling" * 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: Make sure nd->path.mnt and nd->path.dentry are always valid pointers hostfs: fix memory handling in follow_link()
