    Pull sparc changes from David S. Miller:
     "This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures
      can now use, which we've been developing on linux-arch over the past
      few days.
    
      For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run,
      and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to
      sparc's user_addr_max() definition.  Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP
      was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-)
    
      From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common
      alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked
      our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."
    
    Fix up trivial arch/sparc/Kconfig and lib/Makefile conflicts.
    
    * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
      sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition.
      lib: Sparc's strncpy_from_user is generic enough, move under lib/
      kernel: Move REPEAT_BYTE definition into linux/kernel.h
      sparc: Increase portability of strncpy_from_user() implementation.
      sparc: Optimize strncpy_from_user() zero byte search.
      sparc: Add full proper error handling to strncpy_from_user().
      sparc32: use the common implementation of alloc_thread_info_node()
