I assume I was Cced to pick this up. I'm happy to do that. If this is
rather supposed to go through the jffs2 tree then please tell me so we
can drop it.

Applied to the vfs.misc branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.misc branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.
