[GIT PULL] vfs fixes

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

/* Summary */
This contains fixes for this merge window:

VFS:

- Ensure that backing files uses file->f_ops->splice_write() for splice.

netfs:

- Revert the removal of PG_private_2 from netfs_release_folio() as cephfs still
  relies on this.

- When AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set on a mapping the folio needs to always be
  invalidated during truncation.

- Fix losing untruncated data in a folio by making letting
  netfs_release_folio() return false if the folio is dirty.

- Fix trimming of streaming-write folios in netfs_inval_folio() .

- Reset iterator before retrying a short read.

- Fix interaction of streaming writes with zero-point tracker

afs:

- During truncation afs currently calls truncate_setsize() which sets i_size,
  expands the pagecache and truncates it. The first two operations aren't
  needed because they will have already been done. So call truncate_pagecache()
  instead and skip the redundant parts.

overlayfs:

- Fix checking of the number of allowed lower layers so 500 layers can actually
  be used instead of just 499

- Add missing '\n' to pr_err() output.

- Pass string to ovl_parse_layer() and thus allow it to be used for
  Opt_lowerdir as well.

pidfd:

- Revert blocking the creation of pidfds for kthread as apparently userspace
  relies on this. Specifically, it breaks systemd during shutdown.

romfs:

- Fix romfs_read_folio() to use the correct offset with folio_zero_tail().
