Merge tag 'v4.12-rc5' into for-4.13/block
We've already got a few conflicts and upcoming work depends on some of the changes that have gone into mainline as regression fixes for this series. Pull in 4.12-rc5 to resolve these conflicts and make it easier on down stream trees to continue working on 4.13 changes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
