Merge tag 'xfs-5.6-merge-8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull moar xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This contains the buffer error code refactoring I mentioned last week,
  now that it has had extra time to complete the full xfs fuzz testing
  suite to make sure there aren't any obvious new bugs"

* tag 'xfs-5.6-merge-8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  xfs: fix xfs_buf_ioerror_alert location reporting
  xfs: remove unnecessary null pointer checks from _read_agf callers
  xfs: make xfs_*read_agf return EAGAIN to ALLOC_FLAG_TRYLOCK callers
  xfs: remove the xfs_btree_get_buf[ls] functions
  xfs: make xfs_trans_get_buf return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_trans_get_buf_map return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_read return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_get_uncached return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_get return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_read_map return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_get_map return an error code
  xfs: make xfs_buf_alloc return an error code
