* one extra reference is enough to pin a dentry down; no need
for two. Switch to regular scheme, similar to shmem, debugfs,
etc. - that fixes securityfs_recursive_remove() dentry leak,
among other things.
* we need to have the filesystem pinned to prevent the contents
disappearing; what we do not need is pinning it for each file.
Doing that only for files and directories in the root is enough.
* the previous two changes allow to get rid of the racy kludges
in efi_secret_unlink(), where we can use simple_unlink() instead
of securityfs_remove(). Which does not require unlocking and
relocking the parent, with all deadlocks that invites.
* Make securityfs_remove() take the entire subtree out, turning
securityfs_recursive_remove() into its alias. Makes a lot more
sense for callers and fixes a mount leak, while we are at it.
* Making securityfs_remove() remove the entire subtree allows for
much simpler life in most of the users - efi_secret, ima_fs,
evm, ipe, tmp get cleaner. I hadn't touched apparmor use of
securityfs, but I suspect that it would be useful there as well.

tpm: don't bother with removal of files in directory we'll be removing
ipe: don't bother with removal of files in directory we'll be removing
evm_secfs: clear securityfs interactions
ima_fs: get rid of lookup-by-dentry stuff
ima_fs: don't bother with removal of files in directory we'll be removing
efi_secret: clean securityfs use up
make securityfs_remove() remove the entire subtree
fix locking in efi_secret_unlink()
securityfs: pin filesystem only for objects directly in root
securityfs: don't pin dentries twice, once is enough...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
