[ Upstream commit 9f2dfda2f2f1c6181c3732c16b85c59ab2d195e0 ]

An inverted return value check in hostfs_mknod() caused the function
to return success after handling it as an error (and cleaning up).

It resulted in the following segfault when trying to bind() a named
unix socket:

Support RENAME_NOREPLACE and RENAME_EXCHANGE flags on hostfs if the
underlying filesystem supports it.

Since renameat2(2) is not yet in any libc, use syscall(2) to invoke the
renameat2 syscall.

<title>mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache</title>

<id>91b0abe36a7b2b3b02d7500925a5f8455334f0e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

The inode info structure is zeroed at allocation with kzalloc, and then
all but one of the fields (including the largest, vfs_inode) are
initialised explicitly. Switch to using kmalloc and initialise the
remaining field too.
