Merge branch 'work.dotdot1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs pathwalk sanitizing from Al Viro:
 "Massive pathwalk rewrite and cleanups.

  Several iterations have been posted; hopefully this thing is getting
  readable and understandable now. Pretty much all parts of pathname
  resolutions are affected...

  The branch is identical to what has sat in -next, except for commit
  message in "lift all calls of step_into() out of follow_dotdot/
  follow_dotdot_rcu", crediting Qian Cai for reporting the bug; only
  commit message changed there."
