Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Significant patch series in this pull request:
- "mseal cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Some mseal cleaning with no intended functional change.
- "Optimizations for khugepaged" (David Hildenbrand)
Improve khugepaged throughput by batching PTE operations for large
folios. This gain is mainly for arm64.
- "x86: enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for ftrace and kprobes" (Mike Rapoport)
A bugfix, additional debug code and cleanups to the execmem code.
- "mm/shmem, swap: bugfix and improvement of mTHP swap in" (Kairui Song)
Bugfixes, cleanups and performance improvememnts to the mTHP swapin
code"
