Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - a few block updates that fell in my lap - lib/ updates - checkpatch - autofs - ipc - a ton of misc other things * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (100 commits) mm: split gfp_mask and mapping flags into separate fields fs: use mapping_set_error instead of opencoded set_bit treewide: remove redundant #include <linux/kconfig.h> hung_task: allow hung_task_panic when hung_task_warnings is 0 kthread: add kerneldoc for kthread_create() kthread: better support freezable kthread workers kthread: allow to modify delayed kthread work kthread: allow to cancel kthread work kthread: initial support for delayed kthread work kthread: detect when a kthread work is used by more workers kthread: add kthread_destroy_worker() kthread: add kthread_create_worker*() kthread: allow to call __kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu() kthread: kthread worker API cleanup kthread: rename probe_kthread_data() to kthread_probe_data() scripts/tags.sh: enable code completion in VIM mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory sections virtual addresses ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme ...
