[GIT PULL] vfs fixes

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This contains various fixes for this cycle:

- Fix fsnotify FMODE_NONOTIFY* handling.
  This also disables fsnotify on all pseudo files by default apart from
  very selection exceptions. This carries a regression risk so we need
  to watch out and adapt accordingly. However, it is overall a
  significant improvement over the current status quo where every rando
  file can get fsnotify enabled.

- Cleanup and simplify lockref_init() after recent lockref changes.

- Fix vboxfs build with gcc-15.

- Add an assert into inode_set_cached_link() to catch corrupt links.

- Allow users to also use an empty string check to detect whether a
  given mount option string was empty or not.

- Fix how security options were appended to statmount()'s ->mnt_opt field.

- Fix statmount() selftests to always check the returned mask.

- Fix uninitialized value in vfs_statx_path().

- Fix pidfs_ioctl() sanity checks to guard against ioctl() overloading
  and preserve extensibility.

/* Testing */

gcc version 14.2.0 (Debian 14.2.0-6)
Debian clang version 16.0.6 (27+b1)
