Fwd: [GIT PULL] vfs uuid

[Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>]

Do you have sample programs for these programs (or even better
mini-xfstest programs) that we can use to make sure this e.g. works
for cifs.ko (which has similar concept to FS UUID for most remote
filesystems etc.)?

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This adds two new ioctl()s for getting the filesystem uuid and
retrieving the sysfs path based on the path of a mounted filesystem. The
bcachefs pull request should include a merge of this as well as it
depends on the two new ioctls. Getting the filesystem uuid has been
implemented in filesystem specific code for a while it's now lifted as a
generic ioctl.

/* Testing */
clang: Debian clang version 16.0.6 (19)
gcc: (Debian 13.2.0-7) 13.2.0

All patches are based on v6.8-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.

The following changes since commit 6613476e225e090cc9aad49be7fa504e290dd33d:
