Add MS_KERNMOUNT to the flags that are passed.
Use sget_userns and force &amp;init_user_ns instead of calling sget so that
even if called from a weird context the internal filesystem will be
considered to be in the intial user namespace.

Luis Ressel reported that the the failure to pass MS_KERNMOUNT into
mount_pseudo broke his in development graphics driver that uses the
generic drm infrastructure.  I am not certain the deriver was bug
free in it's usage of that infrastructure but since
mount_pseudo_xattr can never be triggered by userspace it is clearer
and less error prone, and less problematic for the code to be explicit.

Pull partial readlink cleanups from Miklos Szeredi.

This is the uncontroversial part of the readlink cleanup patch-set that
simplifies the default readlink handling.

Miklos and Al are still discussing the rest of the series.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  vfs: make generic_readlink() static
  vfs: remove ".readlink = generic_readlink" assignments
  vfs: default to generic_readlink()
  vfs: replace calling i_op-&gt;readlink with vfs_readlink()
  proc/self: use generic_readlink
  ecryptfs: use vfs_get_link()
  bad_inode: add missing i_op initializers
