Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "Regression fix in mtdchar_open(), fix for a really old leak (almost never hit in practice - it's a b0rken failure exit in simple_fill_super()) and a typo fix in vfs.txt (misspelled method type)." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: typo fix in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt dentry leak in simple_fill_super() failure exit fix breakage in mtdchar_open(), sanitize failure exits
