Subject: linux-next: slab/percpu tree build failure

Hi all,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

mm/slub.c: In function 'alloc_kmem_cache_cpus':
mm/slub.c:2074: error: implicit declaration of function 'per_cpu_var'
mm/slub.c:2074: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

Caused by commit 9dfc6e68bfe6ee452efb1a4e9ca26a9007f2b864 ("SLUB: Use
this_cpu operations in slub") from the slab interacting with commit
dd17c8f72993f9461e9c19250e3f155d6d99df22 ("percpu: remove per_cpu__
prefix") from the percpu tree.

I have added the following patch for today and (can carry it as
necessary).
