Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge updates from Andrew Morton: - fsnotify fix - poll() timeout fix - a few scripts/ tweaks - debugobjects updates - the (small) ocfs2 queue - Minor fixes to kernel/padata.c - Maybe half of the MM queue * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (117 commits) mm, page_alloc: restore the original nodemask if the fast path allocation failed mm, page_alloc: uninline the bad page part of check_new_page() mm, page_alloc: don't duplicate code in free_pcp_prepare mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain cpuset: use static key better and convert to new API mm, page_alloc: inline pageblock lookup in page free fast paths mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary variable from free_pcppages_bulk mm, page_alloc: pull out side effects from free_pages_check mm, page_alloc: un-inline the bad part of free_pages_check mm, page_alloc: check multiple page fields with a single branch mm, page_alloc: remove field from alloc_context mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages mm, page_alloc: reduce cost of fair zone allocation policy retry mm, page_alloc: shorten the page allocator fast path mm, page_alloc: check once if a zone has isolated pageblocks mm, page_alloc: move __GFP_HARDWALL modifications out of the fastpath mm, page_alloc: simplify last cpupid reset mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary initialisation from __alloc_pages_nodemask() ...
