Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge first patchbomb from Andrew Morton:
- a few misc things
- ocfs2 udpates
- kernel/watchdog.c feature work (took ages to get right)
- most of MM. A few tricky bits are held up and probably won't make 4.2.
* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (91 commits)
mm: kmemleak_alloc_percpu() should follow the gfp from per_alloc()
mm, thp: respect MPOL_PREFERRED policy with non-local node
