Merge branches 'core-urgent-for-linus', 'perf-urgent-for-linus' and 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull RCU, perf, and scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar.

The RCU fix is a revert for an optimization that could cause deadlocks.

One of the scheduler commits (164c33c6ad "sched: Fix fork() error path
to not crash") is correct but not complete (some architectures like Tile
are not covered yet) - the resulting additional fixes are still WIP and
Ingo did not want to delay these pending fixes.  See this thread on
lkml:

  [PATCH] fork: fix error handling in dup_task()

The perf fixes are just trivial oneliners.
