Subject: [GIT PULL] livepatching fix for 4.0

Linus,

please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus

to receive

==========
- fix for potential race with module loading, from Petr Mladek. The race 
  is very unlikely to be seen in real world and has been found by code 
  inspection, but should be fixed for 4.0 anyway.
==========

Thanks.
