Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Here's a set of block fixes for the current 4.8-rc release.  This
  contains:

   - a fix for a secure erase regression, from Adrian.

   - a fix for an mmc use-after-free bug regression, also from Adrian.

   - potential zero pointer deference in bdev freezing, from Andrey.

   - a race fix for blk_set_queue_dying() from Bart.

   - a set of xen blkfront fixes from Bob Liu.

   - three small fixes for bcache, from Eric and Kent.

   - a fix for a potential invalid NVMe state transition, from Gabriel.

   - blk-mq CPU offline fix, preventing us from issuing and completing a
     request on the wrong queue.  From me.

   - revert two previous floppy changes, since they caused a user
     visibile regression.  A better fix is in the works.

   - ensure that we don't send down bios that have more than 256
     elements in them.  Fixes a crash with bcache, for example.  From
     Ming.

   - a fix for deferencing an error pointer with cgroup writeback.
     Fixes a regression.  From Vegard"
