next: Commit 'mm: Prevent __alloc_pages_nodemask() RCU CPU stall ...' causing hang on sparc32 qemu

[Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>]

Hi Paul,

most of my qemu tests for sparc32 targets started to fail in next-20161129.
The problem is only seen in SMP builds; non-SMP builds are fine.
Bisect points to commit 2d66cccd73436 ("mm: Prevent __alloc_pages_nodemask()
RCU CPU stall warnings"); reverting that commit fixes the problem.

Test scripts are available at:
	https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/sparc
Test results are at:
	https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/sparc

Bisect log is attached.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help tracking down the
problem.

Thanks,
Guenter
