    Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
     "Followups to the parallel lookup work:
    
       - update docs
    
       - restore killability of the places that used to take ->i_mutex
         killably now that we have down_write_killable() merged
    
       - Additionally, it turns out that I missed a prerequisite for
         security_d_instantiate() stuff - ->getxattr() wasn't the only thing
         that could be called before dentry is attached to inode; with smack
         we needed the same treatment applied to ->setxattr() as well"
    
    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
      switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately
      switch xattr_handler->set() to passing dentry and inode separately
      restore killability of old mutex_lock_killable(&inode->i_mutex) users
      add down_write_killable_nested()
      update D/f/directory-locking
