   # HEAD: 4892f51ad54ddff2883a60b6ad4323c1f632a9d6 sched/fair: Avoid redundant EAS calculation

The changes are:

 - Apply a number of membarrier related fixes and cleanups, which fixes a 
   use-after-free race in the membarrier code.

 - Introduce proper RCU protection for tasks on the runqueue - to get rid 
   of the subtle task_rcu_dereference() interface that was easy to get 
   wrong.

 - Misc fixes, but also an EAS speedup.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
