Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the tip tree with Linus' tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in kernel/sched.c
between commit 6631e635c65d ("block: don't flush plugged IO on forced
preemtion scheduling") from Linus' tree and commits 098247b90a9e ("sched:
Provide p->on_rq") and a3380736e4b3 ("sched: Also serialize ttwu_local()
with p->pi_lock") from the tip tree.

I fixed them up (hopefully - see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary.
