When the Partial Parity Log is enabled, circular buffer is used to store
PPL data. Each write to RAID device causes overwrite of data in this buffer
so some write_hint can be set to those request to help drives handle
garbage collection. This patch adds new sysfs attribute which can be used
to specify which write_hint should be assigned to PPL.

Pull watchdog core update from Thomas Gleixner:

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:

 - Extend LSM stacking to allow sharing of cred, file, ipc, inode, and
   task blobs. This paves the way for more full-featured LSMs to be

   work is from Casey and Kees.

 - There's a new LSM from Micah Morton: "SafeSetID gates the setid
   family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID transitions from a given
   UID/GID to only those approved by a system-wide whitelist." This
   feature is currently shipping in ChromeOS.
