Merge branch 'work.init' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull root filesystem type handling updates from Al Viro:
 "Teach init/do_mounts.c to handle non-block filesystems, hopefully
  preventing even more special-cased kludges (such as root=/dev/nfs,
  etc)"

* 'work.init' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: simplify get_filesystem_list / get_all_fs_names
  init: allow mounting arbitrary non-blockdevice filesystems as root
  init: split get_fs_names
