[GIT PULL] readlink cleanup

Hi Al,

Please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git readlink

This is a rework of the readlink cleanup patchset. Now readlink(2) does the
following:

- if i_op->readlink() is non-NULL (only proc and afs mountpoints for now) then
it calls that;
- otherwise call i_op->get_link();
- signature of ->readlink() now matches that of ->get_link();

This is against the #misc branch (the stats look better that way ;)

Thanks,
Miklos
