Applied.

Just a note:

Please put the actual commit ID there too, because that's what people
with automation check.

.. and when you do that, you'll see that it wasn't actually in 4.12,
but got merged during the 4.13 merge window:

    $ git name-rev 92ebce5ac55d
    92ebce5ac55d tags/v4.13-rc1~154^2

(unless it was backported, but I don't think it was).

Also, the prototype for kernel_wait4() (in <linux/sched/task.h>) is
wrong, and doesn't have the __user annotation.
