Pull rdma qedr RoCE driver from Doug Ledford:
 "Early on in the merge window I mentioned I had a backlog of new
  drivers waiting to be reviewed and that, in addition to the hns-roce
  driver, I wanted to get possible a couple more reviewed. I ended up
  only having the time to complete one of the additional drivers.

  During Dave Miller's pull request this go around, there were a series
  of 9 patches to the QLogic qed net driver that add basic support for a
  paired RoCE driver. That support is currently not functional because
  it is missing the matching RoCE driver in the RDMA subsystem. I
  managed to finish that review. However, because it goes against part
  of Dave's net pull, and a part that was accepted a day or two after
  the merge window opened, to apply cleanly it has to be applied to
  either the tip of Dave's net branch, or as I did in this case, I just
  applied it to your master after you had taken Dave's pull request."

 "This merge window was the first where Huawei had to try and coordinate
  their patches between their net driver and their new roce driver
  (similar to mlx4 and mlx5).

  They didn't do horribly, but there were some issues (and we knew that
  because they simply didn't know what to do in the beginning). As a
  result, I had a set of patches that depended on some patches that
  normally would have come to you via Dave's tree. Those patches have
  been on netdev@ for a while, so I got Dave to give me his approval to
  send them to you. As such, the other 29 patches I had behind them are
  also now ready to go.

  This catches the hns and hns-roce drivers up to current, and for
  future patches we are working with them to get them up to speed on how
  to do joint driver development so that they don't have these sorts of
  cross tree dependency issues again. BTW, Dave gave me permission to
  add his Acked-by: to the patches against the net tree, but I've had
  this branch through 0day (but not linux-next since it was off by
  itself) and I didn't want to rebase the series just to add Dave's ack
  for the 8 patches in the net area.

     special processor_aggregator driver from Xen take over when running

  that driver, a CPPC cpufreq driver fix, and a some devfreq fixes and

  Specifics:

   - Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in behavior
     to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative governor)
     introduced during the 4.8 cycle (Aaro Koskinen, Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the way the intel_pstate driver accesses MSRs related to the
     hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature during the initialization
     which currently is unsafe and may cause the processor to generate a
     general protection fault (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Rework the intel_pstate's P-state selection algorithm used on Atom
     processors to avoid known problems with the current one and to make
     the computation more straightforward, which also happens to improve
     performance in multiple benchmarks a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Improve two comments in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the desired performance computation in the CPPC cpufreq driver
     (Hoan Tran).

   - Fix the devfreq core to avoid printing misleading error messages in
     some cases (Tobias Jakobi).

   - Fix the error code path in devfreq_add_device() to use proper

Resulting in a complete removal of a function basically implementing the
inverse of vfs_readlink().

As a bonus, now the proper security hook is also called.

This helper is for filesystems that want to read the symlink and are better
off with the get_link() interface (returning a char *) rather than the
readlink() interface (copy into a userspace buffer).

Also call the LSM hook for readlink (not get_link) since this is for
symlink reading not following.

All filesystems that are backers for overlayfs would also use
generic_readlink().  Move this logic to the overlay itself, which is a nice
cleanup.
