Pull NVMe write streams removal from Jens Axboe:
 "This removes the write streams support in NVMe. No vendor ever really
  shipped working support for this, and they are not interested in
  supporting it.

  With the NVMe support gone, we have nothing in the tree that supports
  this. Remove passing around of the hints.

  The only discussion point in this patchset imho is the fact that the
  file specific write hint setting/getting fcntl helpers will now return
  -1/EINVAL like they did before we supported write hints. No known
  applications use these functions, I only know of one prototype that I
  help do for RocksDB, and that's not used. That said, with a change
  like this, it's always a bit controversial. Alternatively, we could
  just make them return 0 and pretend it worked. It's placement based
  hints after all"

README

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.
