Merge tag 'please-pull-pstore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux

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
