Merge branch 'for-3.18-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu fix from Tejun Heo:
"This contains one patch to fix a race condition which can lead to
percpu_ref using a percpu pointer which is corrupted with a set DEAD
bit. The bug was introduced while separating out the ATOMIC mode flag
from the DEAD flag. The fix is pretty straight forward.
I just committed the patch to the percpu tree but am sending out the
pull request early as I'll be on vacation for a week. The patch
should be fairly safe and while the latency will be higher I'll be
checking emails"
