ovl: provide a mount option "volatile"

Container folks are complaining that dnf/yum issues too many sync while
installing packages and this slows down the image build. Build requirement
is such that they don't care if a node goes down while build was still
going on. In that case, they will simply throw away unfinished layer and
start new build. So they don't care about syncing intermediate state to the
disk and hence don't want to pay the price associated with sync.

So they are asking for mount options where they can disable sync on overlay
mount point.

They primarily seem to have two use cases.

- For building images, they will mount overlay with nosync and then sync
upper layer after unmounting overlay and reuse upper as lower for next
layer.

- For running containers, they don't seem to care about syncing upper layer
because if node goes down, they will simply throw away upper layer and
create a fresh one.

So this patch provides a mount option "volatile" which disables all forms
of sync. Now it is caller's responsibility to throw away upper if system
crashes or shuts down and start fresh.

With "volatile", I am seeing roughly 20% speed up in my VM where I am just
installing emacs in an image. Installation time drops from 31 seconds to 25
seconds when nosync option is used. This is for the case of building on top
of an image where all packages are already cached. That way I take out the
network operations latency out of the measurement.

Giuseppe is also looking to cut down on number of iops done on the disk. He
is complaining that often in cloud their VMs are throttled if they cross
the limit. This option can help them where they reduce number of iops (by
cutting down on frequent sync and writebacks).

ASoC: Updates for v5.9

The biggest changes here one again come from Mormioto-san who has
continued his dilligent work cleaning up long standing issues in the
APIs, it's particularly nice to see the transition from digital_mute()
to mute_stream() finally completed. There's also been a lot of work on
the x86 code again, this time a big focus has been on cleaning up some
issues identified by various static tests, and on the Freescale systems.
Otherwise the biggest thing has been a lot of driver additions:

- Convert users of digital_mute() to mute_stream().
- Simplify I/O helper functions.
- Add a helper for getting the RTD from a substream.
- Many, many fixes and cleanups to the x86 code.
- New drivers for Freescale MQS and i.MX6sx, Intel KeemBay I2S, Maxim
MAX98360A and MAX98373 Soundwire, several Mediatek boards, nVidia
Tegra 186 and 210, RealTek RL6231, Samsung Midas and Aries boards (some
of the first phones I worked on!) and TI J721e EVM.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.

The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.

At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3113e8b203b9debfb72d81e0f3dcace
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.

This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.

While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.

The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.
