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

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in kernel/fork.c
between commit touching paths: ("fork: call complete_vfork_done() after
clearing child_tid and flushing rss-counters") from Linus' tree and
commit "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec" from the
akpm tree.

Just context changes.  I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary.
