Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the mm-nonmm-unstable
 branch of the mm tree

Hi all,

After merging the mm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5,
                 from include/uapi/linux/types.h:14,

                 from lib/group_cpus.c:6:
lib/group_cpus.c: In function 'group_cpus_evenly':

Caused by commit

  f004021b058f ("lib/group_cpus: fix initialization section in group_cpus_evenly()")

CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set for this build (so cpumask_var_t is
an single element array, not a pointer).

I applied this hack for today:
