Merge misc VM fixes from Andrew Morton:
"A bunch of hotfixes, all affecting mm/.
The two-patch series from Andrea may be controversial. This restores
patches which were reverted in Dec 2018 due to a regression report [*].
After extensive discussion it is evident that the problems which these
patches solved were significantly more serious than the problems they
introduced. I am told that major distros are already carrying these
two patches for this reason"

for the google-specific issues brought up by David Rijentes. And as
Andrew says:
"I'm unaware of anyone else who will be adversely affected by this,
and google already carries over a thousand kernel patches - another
won't kill them.
There has been sporadic discussion about fixing these things for
real but it's clear that nobody apart from David is particularly
motivated"

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.
