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

Pull wait syscall updates from Al Viro:
 "Consolidating sys_wait* and compat counterparts.

  Gets rid of set_fs()/double-copy mess, simplifies the whole thing
  (lifting the copyouts to the syscalls means less headache in the part
  that does actual work - fewer failure exits, to start with), gets rid
  of the overhead of field-by-field __put_user()"

* 'work.sys_wait' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  osf_wait4: switch to kernel_wait4()
  waitid(): switch copyout of siginfo to unsafe_put_user()
  wait_task_zombie: consolidate info logics
  kill wait_noreap_copyout()
  lift getrusage() from wait_noreap_copyout()
  waitid(2): leave copyout of siginfo to syscall itself
  kernel_wait4()/kernel_waitid(): delay copying status to userland
  wait4(2)/waitid(2): separate copying rusage to userland
  move compat wait4 and waitid next to native variants
