Merge branch 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

Pull a percpu fix from Tejun Heo:
 "Fix for a percpu allocator bug where it could try to kfree() a memory
  region allocated using vmalloc().  The bug has been there for years
  now and is unlikely to have ever triggered given the size of struct
  pcpu_chunk.  It's still theoretically possible and the fix is simple
  and safe enough, so the patch is marked with -stable"

* 'for-3.15-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
  percpu: make pcpu_alloc_chunk() use pcpu_mem_free() instead of kfree()
