I checked your tree and found a mistake.
You merged a following patch into your tree.

commitid:2ba281f1
ACPI / memory-hotplug: introduce a mutex lock to protect the list
in acpi_memory_device

But it is wrong.

[1/7] patch is "acpi,memory-hotplug : add memory offline code to
acpi_memory_device_remove()". So we would like you to merge it
instead of commitid:2ba281f1.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
