Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton)

Merge fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "Bunch of fixes.

  And a reversion of mhocko's "Soft limit rework" patch series.  This is
  actually your fault for opening the merge window when I was off racing ;)

  I didn't read the email thread before sending everything off.
  Johannes Weiner raised significant issues:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/cgroups/msg08813.html

  and we agreed to back it all out"

I clearly need to be more aware of Andrew's racing schedule.

* akpm:
