Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: - the rest of MM - KASAN updates - procfs updates - exit, fork updates - printk updates - lib/ updates - radix-tree testsuite updates - checkpatch updates - kprobes updates - a few other misc bits * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (162 commits) samples/kprobes: print out the symbol name for the hooks samples/kprobes: add a new module parameter kprobes: add the "tls" argument for j_do_fork init/main.c: simplify initcall_blacklisted() fs/efs/super.c: fix return value checkpatch: improve --git <commit-count> shortcut checkpatch: reduce number of `git log` calls with --git checkpatch: add support to check already applied git commits checkpatch: add --list-types to show message types to show or ignore checkpatch: advertise the --fix and --fix-inplace options more checkpatch: whine about ACCESS_ONCE checkpatch: add test for keywords not starting on tabstops checkpatch: improve CONSTANT_COMPARISON test for structure members checkpatch: add PREFER_IS_ENABLED test lib/GCD.c: use binary GCD algorithm instead of Euclidean radix-tree: free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse dax: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c radix-tree: make radix_tree_descend() more useful radix-tree: introduce radix_tree_replace_clear_tags() radix-tree: tidy up __radix_tree_create() ...
