Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

In file included from /home/sfr/next/next/include/uapi/linux/uuid.h:21:0,
                 from /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/uuid.h:19,
                 from /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:12,
                 from /home/sfr/next/next/scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:2:
/home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/string.h: In function 'memcpy_and_pad':
/home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/string.h:450:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'fortify_panic' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   fortify_panic(__func__);
   ^

Caused by commit

  9b04e51112ba ("fortify: use WARN instead of BUG for now")

interacting with commit

  01f33c336e2d ("string.h: add memcpy_and_pad()")

from the block tree.

I have applied the following merge fix patch:
