Merge tag 'pull-work.lseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs lseek updates from Al Viro:
 "Jason's lseek series.

  Saner handling of 'lseek should fail with ESPIPE' - this gets rid of
  the magical no_llseek thing and makes checks consistent.

  In particular, the ad-hoc "can we do splice via internal pipe" checks
  got saner (and somewhat more permissive, which is what Jason had been
  after, AFAICT)"

* tag 'pull-work.lseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: remove no_llseek
  fs: check FMODE_LSEEK to control internal pipe splicing
  vfio: do not set FMODE_LSEEK flag
  dma-buf: remove useless FMODE_LSEEK flag
  fs: do not compare against ->llseek
  fs: clear or set FMODE_LSEEK based on llseek function

 pass <mnt, mnt->mnt_root> pair (i.e. the root of given mount), a new helper
