Merge branch 'work.namespace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull ipc namespace update from Al Viro:
 "Rik's patches reducing the amount of synchronize_rcu() triggered by
  ipc namespace destruction.

  I've some pending stuff reducing that on the normal umount side, but
  it's nowhere near ready and Rik's stuff shouldn't be held back due to
  conflicts - I'll just redo the parts of my series that stray into
  ipc/*"

* 'work.namespace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  ipc,namespace: batch free ipc_namespace structures
  ipc,namespace: make ipc namespace allocation wait for pending free
