  sched: Clean-up struct sd_lb_stat
  sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()
  sched: Remove one division operation in find_busiest_queue()
  sched/cputime: Use this_cpu_add() in task_group_account_field()
  cpumask: Fix cpumask leak in partition_sched_domains()
  sched/x86: Optimize switch_mm() for multi-threaded workloads
  generic-ipi: Kill unnecessary variable - csd_flags
  numa: Mark __node_set() as __always_inline
  sched/fair: Cleanup: remove duplicate variable declaration
