Pull more block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
- Last series adding error handling support for add_disk() in drivers.
After this one, and once the SCSI side has been merged, we can
finally annotate add_disk() as must_check. (Luis)
- bcache fixes (Coly)
- zram fixes (Ming)
- ataflop locking fix (Tetsuo)

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 Restructured Text 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.
