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

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Making sure that something like a referral point won't end up as pwd
  or root.

  The main part is the last commit (fixing mntns_install()); that one
  fixes a hard-to-hit race. The fchdir() commit is making fchdir(2) a
  bit more robust - it should be impossible to get opened files (even
  O_PATH ones) for referral points in the first place, so the existing
  checks are OK, but checking the same thing as in chdir(2) is just as
  cheap.

  The path_init() commit removes a redundant check that shouldn't have
  been there in the first place"

* 'work.sane_pwd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  make sure that mntns_install() doesn't end up with referral for root
  path_init(): don't bother with checking MAY_EXEC for LOOKUP_ROOT
  make sure that fchdir() won't accept referral points, etc.
