Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes

Linus,

Please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: 5473e0cc37c03c576adbda7591a6cc8e37c1bb7f sched: 'Annotate' migrate_tasks()

A migrate_tasks() locking fix, and a late-coming nohz change plus a nohz debug 
check.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
