    Pull compat mount cleanups from Al Viro:
     "The last remnants of mount(2) compat buried by Christoph.
    
      Buried into NFS, that is.
    
      Generally I'm less enthusiastic about "let's use in_compat_syscall()
      deep in call chain" kind of approach than Christoph seems to be, but
      in this case it's warranted - that had been an NFS-specific wart,
      hopefully not to be repeated in any other filesystems (read: any new
      filesystem introducing non-text mount options will get NAKed even if
      it doesn't mess the layout up).
    
      IOW, not worth trying to grow an infrastructure that would avoid that
      use of in_compat_syscall()..."
    
    * 'compat.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
      fs: remove compat_sys_mount
      fs,nfs: lift compat nfs4 mount data handling into the nfs code
      nfs: simplify nfs4_parse_monolithic
