Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the userns tree with Linus' tree

Hi Eric,

Today's linux-next merge of the userns tree got a conflict in:

  fs/proc/root.c

between commit:

  e54ad7f1ee26 ("proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top")

from Linus' tree and commit:

  e94591d0d90c ("proc: Convert proc_mount to use mount_ns")

from the userns tree.

I fixed it up (I used the userns version of this file and added the
following patch) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed
as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should
be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for
merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer
of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
