Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/borntraeger/linux

Pull WRITE_ONCE argument order change from Christian Borntraeger:
 "As discussed on LKML[1] it was agreed that WRITE_ONCE(x, val) is
  better than ASSIGN_ONCE(val, x)

  Lets change that for 3.19 as 3.19 has no user yet, but the first users
  will hit linux-next soon"
