Pull dcache_readdir() fixes from Al Viro:
 "The couple of patches you'd been OK with; no hlist conversion yet, and
  cursors are still in the list of children"

  This is just a fix for a race with a trivial cleanup   - Linus ]

* 'work.dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  libfs: take cursors out of list when moving past the end of directory
  Fix the locking in dcache_readdir() and friends
