The function path_is_under() doesn't modify the paths pointed by its
arguments but only browse them. Constifying this pointers make a cleaner
interface to be used by (future) code which may only have access to
const struct path pointers (e.g. LSM hooks).

There was what I consider to be a better fix, but it's late in the rc

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Fix a crash that occurs at driver initialization if the memory region
is already busy (request_mem_region() fails).
- Fix a vma validation check that mistakenly allows a private device-
dax mapping to be established. Device-dax explicitly forbids private
mappings so it can guarantee a given fault granularity and backing
memory type.
Both of these fixes have soaked in -next and are tagged for -stable.

In commit 10724cc7bb ("tipc: redesign connection-level flow control")
we replaced the previous message based flow control with one based on
1k blocks. In order to ensure backwards compatibility the mechanism
falls back to using message as base unit when it senses that the peer
doesn't support the new algorithm. The default flow control window,
i.e., how many units can be sent before the sender blocks and waits
for an acknowledge (aka advertisement) is 512. This was tested against
the previous version, which uses an acknowledge frequency of on ack per
256 received message, and found to work fine.
However, we missed the fact that versions older than Linux 3.15 use an
acknowledge frequency of 512, which is exactly the limit where a 4.6+
sender will stop and wait for acknowledge. This would also work fine if
it weren't for the fact that if the first sent message on a 4.6+ server
side is an empty SYNACK, this one is also is counted as a sent message,
while it is not counted as a received message on a legacy 3.15-receiver.
This leads to the sender always being one step ahead of the receiver, a
scenario causing the sender to block after 512 sent messages, while the
receiver only has registered 511 read messages. Hence, the legacy
receiver is not trigged to send an acknowledge, with a permanently
blocked sender as result.
We solve this deadlock by simply allowing the sender to send one more
message before it blocks, i.e., by a making minimal change to the
condition used for determining connection congestion.
