Subject: Re: + fix-print-order-in-show_free_areas.patch added to -mm tree

JFTR. Joe, has already noticed this
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2aaf6f1701ee78582743d91359018689d5826e82.1489628459.git.joe@perches.com
and I have requested to split out the fix from the rest of the
whitespace noise
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170316105733.GC30508@dhcp22.suse.cz
but Joe hasn't really followed up and I didn't get to do it myself.

Even though this cannot cause any crash or misbehaving it is still
confusing enough to be worth backporting to stable

Cc: stable # 4.8+
Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

Thanks!
