Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few random little subsystems

 - almost all of the MM patches which are staged ahead of linux-next
   material. I'll trickle to post-linux-next work in as the dependents
   get merged up.

Subsystems affected by this patch series: kthread, kbuild, ide, ntfs,
ocfs2, arch, and mm (slab-generic, slab, slub, dax, debug, pagecache,
gup, swap, shmem, memcg, pagemap, mremap, hmm, vmalloc, documentation,
kasan, pagealloc, memory-failure, hugetlb, vmscan, z3fold, compaction,
oom-kill, migration, cma, page-poison, userfaultfd, zswap, zsmalloc,
uaccess, zram, and cleanups).

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (200 commits)
  mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage
  mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang
  mm: slub: convert sysfs sprintf family to sysfs_emit/sysfs_emit_at
  mm: shmem: convert shmem_enabled_show to use sysfs_emit_at
  mm:backing-dev: use sysfs_emit in macro defining functions
  mm: huge_memory: convert remaining use of sprintf to sysfs_emit and neatening
  mm: use sysfs_emit for struct kobject * uses
  mm: fix kernel-doc markups
  zram: break the strict dependency from lzo
  zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set up
  zram: support page writeback
  mm/process_vm_access: remove redundant initialization of iov_r
  mm/zsmalloc.c: rework the list_add code in insert_zspage()
  mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration
  mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning
  mm/zswap: make struct kernel_param_ops definitions const
  userfaultfd/selftests: hint the test runner on required privilege
  userfaultfd/selftests: fix retval check for userfaultfd_open()
  userfaultfd/selftests: always dump something in modes
  userfaultfd: selftests: make __{s,u}64 format specifiers portable

* A good practice is to add the cpu number also into the worker name.

* CPU hotplug:
* The kthread worker API is simple and generic. It just provides a way
* to create, use, and destroy workers.
*
* It is up to the API user how to handle CPU hotplug. They have to decide
* how to handle pending work items, prevent queuing new ones, and
* restore the functionality when the CPU goes off and on. There are a
* few catches:
*
* - CPU affinity gets lost when it is scheduled on an offline CPU.
*
* - The worker might not exist when the CPU was off when the user
* created the workers.
*
* Good practice is to implement two CPU hotplug callbacks and to
* destroy/create the worker when the CPU goes down/up.

* The pointer to the allocated worker on success, ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
* when the needed structures could not get allocated, and ERR_PTR(-EINTR)
* when the worker was SIGKILLed.
