Merge branch 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

Pull single percpu update from Tejun Heo:
 "Just a single patch to update type verification macro for percpu
  accessors.

  Christoph is trying to replace __get_cpu_var() with this_cpu accessors
  which needs this update.  There are still some issues to be resolved
  but eventually the conversion patches are likely to be routed through
  different trees, so I think it'd be convenient to merge this commit
  early"

* Macro which verifies @ptr is a percpu pointer without evaluating
* @ptr. This is to be used in percpu accessors to verify that the
* input parameter is a percpu pointer.
*
* + 0 is required in order to convert the pointer type from a
* potential array type to a pointer to a single item of the array.
