Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fix from Al Viro. Automount handling was broken by commit e3c13928086f ("namei: massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()") moving the test for negative dentry too early. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: fix the braino in "namei: massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()"
