Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge updates from Andrew Morton:
"A few little subsystems and a start of a lot of MM patches.
Subsystems affected by this patch series: squashfs, ocfs2, parisc,
vfs. With mm subsystems: slab-generic, slub, debug, pagecache, gup,
swap, memcg, pagemap, memory-failure, vmalloc, kasan"
