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

Pull fs_context updates from Al Viro:
 "Change vfs_parse_fs_string() calling conventions

  Get rid of the length argument (almost all callers pass strlen() of
  the string argument there), add vfs_parse_fs_qstr() for the cases that
  do want separate length"

* tag 'pull-fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  do_nfs4_mount(): switch to vfs_parse_fs_string()
  change the calling conventions for vfs_parse_fs_string()

+Calling conventions for vfs_parse_fs_string() have changed; it does *not*
