Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fix from Al Viro:
"Fix for 3.8 breakage introduced by "vfs: Allow unprivileged
manipulation of the mount namespace" - accessing mnt->mnt_ns is done
there without needed locking *and* without any real need.
Definite -stable fodder, fortunately not going too far back.
This is *not* all - there will be much bigger vfs pull request
tomorrow."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
get rid of unprotected dereferencing of mnt->mnt_ns
