The "nilfs2: check size of array structured data exchanged via ioctls"
adds missing sanity checks to ioctls. These checks are needed to
prevent memory access overrun in kernel code due to incorrect
argument data.

The "nilfs2: ensure to clear dirty state when deleting metadata file
block" fixes user-reported GC failures.

The "nilfs2: fix possible recovery failure due to block creation
without writer" fixes recovery failure on mount which can happen in a
boundary condition.

The "nilfs2: fix circular locking dependency of writer mutex",
"nilfs2: fix possible circular locking for get information ioctls", and
"nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in nilfs_clean_segments ioctl"
fix circular locking problems and lock order reversal the lockdep
check has detected.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
