One of these patches is for a CVE:  CVE-2015-5697

I'm not convinced it is serious (data leak from CAP_SYS_ADMIN ioctl)
but as people seem to want to back-port it, I've included a minimal
version here.  The remainder of that patch from Benjamin is
code-cleanup and will arrive in the 4.3 merge window.

  md/raid5: don't let shrink_slab shrink too far. (2015-08-03 17:10:56
  +1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Three more fixes for md in 4.2

Mostly corner-case stuff.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Benjamin Randazzo (1):
      md: use kzalloc() when bitmap is disabled

NeilBrown (2):
      md/raid1: extend spinlock to protect raid1_end_read_request
                against inconsistencies
      md/raid5: don't let shrink_slab shrink too far.
