Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu fixes for v4.15-rc3

Hello, Linus.

Just one patch to work around CRIS boot problem caused by a recent
change which freed a temporary boot data structure.  The root cause is
on CRIS side but it doesn't seem trivial to fix.  For now, work around
by skipping freeing on CRIS.

Thanks.
