Pull pstore updates from Kees Cook:
"This has a large internal refactoring along with several smaller
fixes.
- constify compression structures; Bhumika Goyal
- restore powerpc dumping; Ankit Kumar
- fix more bugs in the rarely exercises module unloading logic
- reorganize filesystem locking to fix problems noticed by lockdep
- refactor internal pstore APIs to make development and review
easier:
- improve error reporting
- add kernel-doc structure and function comments
- avoid insane argument passing by using a common record
structure"
