Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of scheduler updates:

   - Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup
     move.

     A recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of
     cgroup tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock
     for load balancing, which opens the race window for
     cgroup_move_task() which then observes half updated state.

     The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags instead of looking at the
     potentially mismatching scheduler state

   - Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding
     division which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the
     buckets array size.

   - Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is
     attached to a cfs runqueue.

     The old load of the task was attached to the runqueue and never
     removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through th...

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.
