Bug Description

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally
       backported form of that patch. The v3.16.5 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches are in the v3.16.5 stable release:

ASoC: ssm2602: do not hardcode type to SSM2602
ASoC: core: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer dereferencing error.
perf: fix perf bug in fork()
mm: memcontrol: do not iterate uninitialized memcgs
mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect
i2c: qup: Fix order of runtime pm initialization
i2c: rk3x: fix 0 length write transfers
ACPI / i915: Update the condition to ignore firmware backlight change request
cpufreq: integrator: fix integrator_cpufreq_remove return type
cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: Fix wait_event() under spinlock
md/raid5: disable 'DISCARD' by default due to safety concerns.
drm/i915: Flush the PTEs after updating them before suspend
Fix problem recognizing symlinks
init/Kconfig: Fix HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG to not break up the EXPERT menu
ring-buffer: Fix infinite spin in reading buffer
uas: Only complain about missing sg if all other checks succeed
uas: Log a warning when we cannot use uas because the hcd lacks streams
uas: Disable uas on ASM1051 devices
uas: Add missing le16_to_cpu calls to asm1051 / asm1053 usb-id check
x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device() initialization to pci_vga_fixup()
vgaarb: Don't default exclusively to first video device with mem+io
mm, thp: move invariant bug check out of loop in __split_huge_page_map
mm: numa: Do not mark PTEs pte_numa when splitting huge pages
media: vb2: fix VBI/poll regression
jiffies: Fix timeval conversion to jiffies
Linux 3.16.5
