Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Support caching symlink lengths in inodes

     The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as
     i_devices, thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more
     space

     When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about
     1.5% speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4

   - Add RWF_DONTCACHE iocb and FOP_DONTCACHE file_operations flag

     If a file system supports uncached buffered IO, it may set
     FOP_DONTCACHE and enable support for RWF_DONTCACHE.

     If RWF_DONTCACHE is attempted without the file system supporting
     it, it'll get errored with -EOPNOTSUPP

   - Enable VBOXGUEST and VBOXSF_FS on ARM64

     Now that VirtualBox is able to run as a host on arm64 (e.g. the
     Apple M3 processors) we can enable VBOXSF_FS (and in turn
     VBOXGUEST) for this architecture.

     Tested with various runs of bonnie++ and dbench on an Apple MacBook
     Pro with the latest Virtualbox 7.1.4 r165100 installed

  Cleanups:

   - Delay sysctl_nr_open check in expand_files()

   - Use kernel-doc includes in fiemap docbook

   - Use page->private instead of page->index in watch_queue

   - Use a consume fence in mnt_idmap() as it's heavily used in
     link_path_walk()

   - Replace magic number 7 with ARRAY_SIZE() in fc_log

   - Sort out a stale comment about races between fd alloc and dup2()

   - Fix return type of do_mount() from long to int

   - Various cosmetic cleanups for the lockref code

  Fixes:

   - Annotate spinning as unlikely() in __read_seqcount_begin

     The annotation already used to be there, but got lost in commit
     52ac39e5db51 ("seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as
     statement expressions")

   - Fix proc_handler for sysctl_nr_open

   - Flush delayed work in delayed fput()

   - Fix grammar and spelling in propagate_umount()

   - Fix ESP not readable during coredump

     In /proc/PID/stat, there is the kstkesp field which is the stack
     pointer of a thread. While the thread is active, this field reads
     zero. But during a coredump, it should have a valid value

     However, at the moment, kstkesp is zero even during coredump

   - Don't wake up the writer if the pipe is still full

   - Fix unbalanced user_access_end() in select code"
