Merge tag 'kernel-7.0-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:

 - pid: introduce task_ppid_vnr() helper

 - pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable

   Mateusz reported performance penalties during task creation because
   pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an
   rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from
   pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it

   Also move inode allocation outside of pidmap_lock. With this there's
   nothing happening for pidfs under pidmap_lock

 - pid: reorder fields in pid_namespace to reduce false sharing

 - Revert "pid: make __task_pid_nr_ns(ns => NULL) safe for zombie
   callers"

 - ipc: Add SPDX license id to mqueue.c
