Pull pstore patches from Tony Luck:
"A few fixes to reduce places where pstore might hang a system in the
crash path. Plus a new mountpoint (/sys/fs/pstore ... makes more
sense then /dev/pstore)."
Fix up trivial conflict in drivers/firmware/efivars.c
* tag 'please-pull-pstore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux:
pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore
efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfs
efivars: Disable external interrupt while holding efivars->lock
efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths
pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path
