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

Hi all,

After merging the origin tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/asm-generic/percpu.h:7,
                 from arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h:556,

Caused by commit

  f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity")

I have reverted that commit for today.

In case it matters:

$ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 9.3.0-13) 9.3.0
