Merge tag 'fscache-20130702' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull FS-Cache updates from David Howells:
 "This contains a number of fixes for various FS-Cache issues plus some
  cleanups.  The commits are, in order:

   1) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() sharing
      the bit-wait table (enhancement for #8).

   2) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may have
      a do {} while(0) wrapper (cleanup).

   3) Symbolically name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers
      in CacheFiles (cleanup).

   4) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs
      ext4).

   5) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup for #7).

   6) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup for #7).

   7) Simplify the object state machine by separating work states from
      wait states.

   8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (NULL pointer deref fix).

   9) Remove unused list_to_page() macro (cleanup).

  10) Make the remaining-pages counter in the retrieval op atomic
      (assertion failure fix).

  11) Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions (assertion failure fix)"
