Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Apply a number of membarrier related fixes and cleanups, which fixes
   a use-after-free race in the membarrier code

 - Introduce proper RCU protection for tasks on the runqueue - to get
   rid of the subtle task_rcu_dereference() interface that was easy to
   get wrong

 - Misc fixes, but also an EAS speedup

  * rcuwait provides a way of blocking and waking up a single

- * Alternatively we have task_rcu_dereference(), but the return
- * semantics have different implications which would break the
- * wakeup side. The only time @task is non-nil is when a user is
- * blocked (or checking if it needs to) on a condition, and reset
- * as soon as we know that the condition has succeeded and are
