Subject: [GIT RESEND PULL] percpu fixes for v3.16-rc4

(The original one went out with "workqueue fixes" in $SUBJ.  Sorry.)

Hello, Linus.

One patch to fix a typo in percpu section name.  Given how long the
bug has been there and that there hasn't been any report of brekage,
it's unlikely to cause actual issues.

Thanks.
