Linus, please pull from

This contains two important JFFS2 fixes marked for stable:
 • a lock ordering problem between the page lock and the internal f->sem
   mutex, which was causing occasional deadlocks in garbage collection, and
 • a scan failure causing moved directories to sometimes end up appearing
   to have hard links.
    
There are also a couple of trivial MAINTAINERS file updates.
