Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the landlock tree with Linus' tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the landlock tree got a conflict in:

  kernel/printk/sysctl.c

between commit:

  1f2cfdd349b7 ("printk: Fix incorrect __user type in proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin()")

from Linus' tree and commit:

  c96303ec34ab ("printk: Move back proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() to sysctl.c")

from the landlock tree.

I fixed it up (I used the letter version and then added the following
merge fix patch) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed
as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should
be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for
merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer
of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
