Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu changes for v4.13-rc1

Hello, Linus.

These are percpu changes for the v4.13-rc1 merge window.  There are a
couple visibility related changes - tracepoints and allocator stats
through debugfs, along with __ro_after_init markings and a cosmetic
rename in percpu_counter.

Please note that the simple O(#elements_in_the_chunk) area allocator
used by percpu allocator is again showing scalability issues,
primarily with bpf allocating and freeing large number of counters.
Dennis is working on the replacement allocator and the percpu
allocator will be seeing increased churns in the coming cycles.

Thanks.
