Subject: [GIT pull] scheduler updates for 4.5

Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

Three small fixes in the scheduler/core
      - Use after free in the numa code
      - Crash in the numa init code
      - A simple spelling fix

Thanks,

	tglx
