Subject: [GIT pull] scheduler fixes for 4.9

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

Two small patches related to sched_show_task():

 - Make sure to hold a reference on the task stack while accessing it

 - Remove the thread_saved_pc printout


Thanks,

	tglx
