linux-next: manual merge of the aio tree with the vfs tree

Hi Benjamin,

Today's linux-next merge of the aio tree got a conflict in:

fs/aio.c

between commit:

32ec9f249d65 ("io_getevents: Use timespec64 to represent timeouts")

from the vfs tree and commit:

eb5263749f68 ("aio: handle integer overflow in io_getevents() timespec usage")

from the aio tree.

I fixed it up (I just dropped the change in the latter commit) and can
carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is
concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your
upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may
also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting
tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
