Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu changes for v5.14-rc1

Hi Linus,

This pull request contains:
 - percpu chunk depopulation - depopulate backing pages for chunks with
   empty pages when we exceed a global threshold without those pages.
   This lets us reclaim a portion of memory that would previously be
   lost until the full chunk would be freed (possibly never).

 - memcg accounting cleanup - previously separate chunks were managed
   for normal allocations and __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations. These are now
   consolidated which cleans up the code quite a bit.

 - a few misc clean ups for clang warnings

Two notes though. First there is a small conflict in mm/memcontrol.c and
I have an example merge in percpu#for-5.14-merge [1]. Second, I have an
outstanding patch to do some level of batching for percpu depopulation.
Oliver Wang (krobot tests) is reporting a regression only on Knights
Landing cpus [2]. I am working on debugging it and hopefully will have
it figured out soon.
