Take that back, of course I only had a quick look and first scrolled to
this fragment and thought "yeap shows block build failure" (not
_really_):

opt/buildbot/slave/next-next/build/kernel/sched/psi.c: In function 'cgroup_move_task':
/opt/buildbot/slave/next-next/build/include/linux/spinlock.h:273:32: warning: 'rq' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/opt/buildbot/slave/next-next/build/kernel/sched/psi.c:639:13: note: 'rq' was declared here
