Add DT support for twl4030_wdt. This is needed to get twl4030_wdt to
probe when booting with DT.

Pull nfsd update from Bruce Fields:
 "Included this time:

   - more nfsd containerization work from Stanislav Kinsbursky: we're
     not quite there yet, but should be by 3.9.

   - NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security
     negotiation and the mandatory BACKCHANNEL_CTL operation.  See

       http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

     for remaining TODO's

   - Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
     Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
     shows.  A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.

   - If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
     supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
     that should now be fixed.

   - Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
     information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.

   - Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
     (which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
     rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)

   - The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.

  Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring
the cookie it has and getting a new one.  The problem with this is that isn't
easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its
outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring.

Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait
for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and
will cause new operations to queue up behind that.  Whilst invalidation is in
progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on
the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.
