Pull cleancache changes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has some patches for the cleancache API that should have been
  submitted a _long_ time ago.  They are basically cleanups:

   - rename of flush to invalidate

   - moving reporting of statistics into debugfs

   - use __read_mostly as necessary.

  Oh, and also the MAINTAINERS file change.  The files (except the
  MAINTAINERS file) have been in #linux-next for months now.  The late
  addition of MAINTAINERS file is a brain-fart on my side - didn't
  realize I needed that just until I was typing this up - and I based
  that patch on v3.3 - so the tree is on top of v3.3."
