Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes for v5.14

Linus,

Please pull the latest sched/urgent git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-2021-06-30

   # HEAD: a22a5cb81e20657194fde6c835e07d28c4dfddbe Merge branch 'sched/core' into sched/urgent, to pick up fix

- Fix a small inconsistency (bug) in load tracking, caught by a
  new warning that several people reported.

- Flip CONFIG_SCHED_CORE to default-disabled, and update the
  Kconfig help text.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
