Merge branch 'for-4.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

Pull percpu fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Late percpu pull request for v4.16-rc6.

   - percpu allocator pool replenishing no longer triggers OOM or
     warning messages.

     Also, the alloc interface now understands __GFP_NORETRY and
     __GFP_NOWARN. This is to allow avoiding OOMs from userland
     triggered actions like bpf map creation.

     Also added cond_resched() in alloc loop.

   - perpcu allocation now can be interrupted by kill sigs to avoid
     deadlocking OOM killer.

   - Added Dennis Zhou as a co-maintainer.

     He has rewritten the area map allocator, understands most of the
     code base and has been responsive for all bug reports"
