Merge tag 'for-linus-3.12-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ericvh/v9fs

Pull 9p updates from Eric Van Hensbergen:
 "Minor 9p fixes and tweaks for 3.12 merge window

  The first fixes namespace issues which causes a kernel NULL pointer
  dereference, the second fixes uevent handling to work better with
  udev, and the third switches some code to use srlcpy instead of
  strncpy in order to be safer.

  All changes have been baking in for-next for at least 2 weeks"
