Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of scheduler fixes:
- Plug a load average accounting race which was introduced with a
recent optimization casing load average to show bogus numbers.
- Fix the rseq CPU id initialization for new tasks. sched_fork() does
not update the rseq CPU id so the id is the stale id of the parent
task, which can cause user space data corruption.
- Handle a 0 return value of task_h_load() correctly in the load
balancer, which does not decrease imbalance and therefore pulls
until the maximum number of loops is reached, which might be all
tasks just created by a fork bomb"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
