Now that all fsverity-capable filesystems store the pointer to fsverity_info in the filesystem-specific part of the inode structure, inode::i_verity_info is no longer needed. Update fsverity_info_addr() to no longer support the fallback to inode::i_verity_info. Finally, remove inode::i_verity_info itself, and move the forward declaration of struct fsverity_info from fs.h (which no longer needs it) to fsverity.h. The end result of the migration to the filesystem-specific pointer is memory savings on CONFIG_FS_VERITY=y kernels for all filesystems that don't support fsverity. Specifically, their in-memory inodes are now smaller by the size of a pointer: either 4 or 8 bytes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
