Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - Avoid calling back into LSMs from vfs_getattr_nosec() calls.

   IMA used to query inode properties accessing raw inode fields without
   dedicated helpers. That was finally fixed a few releases ago by
   forcing IMA to use vfs_getattr_nosec() helpers.

   The goal of the vfs_getattr_nosec() helper is to query for attributes
   without calling into the LSM layer which would be quite problematic
   because incredibly IMA is called from __fput()...

     __fput()
       -> ima_file_free()

   What it does is to call back into the filesystem to update the file's
   IMA xattr. Querying the inode without using vfs_getattr_nosec() meant
   that IMA didn't handle stacking filesystems such as overlayfs
   correctly. So the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() is quite correct. But
   the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() revealed another bug when used on
   stacking filesystems:

     __fput()
       -> ima_file_free()
          -> vfs_getattr_nosec()
             -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr()
                -> vfs_getattr()
                   -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr()
                      -> security_inode_getattr() # calls back into LSMs

   Now, if that __fput() happens from task_work_run() of an exiting task
   current->fs and various other pointer could already be NULL. So
   anything in the LSM layer relying on that not being NULL would be
   quite surprised.

   Fix that by passing the information that this is a security request
   through to the stacking filesystem by adding a new internal
   ATT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag. Now the callchain becomes:

     __fput()
       -> ima_file_free()
          -> vfs_getattr_nosec()
             -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr()
                -> if (AT_GETATTR_NOSEC)
                          vfs_getattr_nosec()
                   else
                          vfs_getattr()
                   -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr()

 - Fix a bug introduced with the iov_iter rework from last cycle.

   This broke /proc/kcore by copying too much and without the correct
   offset.

 - Add a missing NULL check when allocating the root inode in
   autofs_fill_super().

 - Fix stable writes for multi-device filesystems (xfs, btrfs etc) and
   the block device pseudo filesystem.

   Stable writes used to be a superblock flag only, making it a per
   filesystem property. Add an additional AS_STABLE_WRITES mapping flag
   to allow for fine-grained control.

 - Ensure that offset_iterate_dir() returns 0 after reaching the end of
   a directory so it adheres to getdents() convention.
