Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] static_key: deferred key fixes and improvements

This series is made out of three logical parts
 - patches 1 and 2 fix panic caused by accessing freed module memory
 - patches 3 and 4 fix miscounting by static_key_slow_dec_deferred()
 - patch 5 introduces a minor optimization

More jump_label/static_key patches are prepared, but I returned to them
yesterday and implemented a variable jump length on amd64, which
requires some refactoring, porting to remaining architectures, and
retesting, so I'm posting this independent part before it gets overtaken
by higher priority work again
=> This series was tested with additional patches
^ I wrote this on Tuesday and then moved to higher priority work, but
returned with enough courage to post a different first part.
The first part was tested on amd64, s390x and ppc64, the rest also on
armv7.

Applies to next-20131206 and v3.13-rc3.

Radim Krčmář (5):
  static_key: add a section for deferred keys
  static_key: cancel rate limit timer on rmmod
  static_key: add static_key_slow_inc_deferred()
  static_key: keep deferred enabled counter debt
  static_key: improve deferred inc behavior
