Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
- a few random little subsystems
- almost all of the MM patches which are staged ahead of linux-next
material. I'll trickle to post-linux-next work in as the dependents
get merged up.
Subsystems affected by this patch series: kthread, kbuild, ide, ntfs,
ocfs2, arch, and mm (slab-generic, slab, slub, dax, debug, pagecache,
gup, swap, shmem, memcg, pagemap, mremap, hmm, vmalloc, documentation,
kasan, pagealloc, memory-failure, hugetlb, vmscan, z3fold, compaction,
oom-kill, migration, cma, page-poison, userfaultfd, zswap, zsmalloc,
uaccess, zram, and cleanups).

mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage
mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang
mm: slub: convert sysfs sprintf family to sysfs_emit/sysfs_emit_at

mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration
mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning
mm/zswap: make struct kernel_param_ops definitions const
userfaultfd/selftests: hint the test runner on required privilege
userfaultfd/selftests: fix retval check for userfaultfd_open()
