vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its
mode argument; switching it to umode_t is obviously equivalent
and it's the only caller of the method

<title>vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors</title>

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from -&gt;destroy_inode() instances...

Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification.
Standardized the location of __printf too.

Done via script and a little typing.

<title>fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into -&gt;fsync() handlers</title>

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the -&gt;fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

<title>fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek</title>

This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly.  In some cases
we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others
we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done.  For example
in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the
SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself
that is all we have to do.  Thanks,
