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

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final block fixes for 3.16

  Four small fixes that should go into 3.16, have been queued up for a
  bit and delayed due to vacation and other euro duties.  But here they
  are.  The pull request contains:

   - Fix for a reported crash with shared tagging on SCSI from Christoph

   - A regression fix for drbd.  From Lars Ellenberg.

   - Hooking up the compat ioctl for BLKZEROOUT, which requires no
     translation.  From Mikulas.

- A fix for a regression where we woud crash on queue exit if the
  root_blkg is gone/not there. From Tejun"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: provide compat ioctl for BLKZEROOUT
  blkcg: don't call into policy draining if root_blkg is already gone
  drbd: fix regression 'out of mem, failed to invoke fence-peer helper'
  block: don't assume last put of shared tags is for the host
