This pull request is odd in multiple ways.

 (a) it's unsigned, and I really don't pull from unsigned sources any more

 (b) the commit message is strange. It says "bcachefs", but I don't see why

 (c) you say riscv randconfig in the pull request but then when I
follow the links in the commit, it says "mips-randconfig". Maybe the
same thing ends up happening elsewhere too - including riscv - but it
sure is confusing and I suspect it was just a typo.

 (d) there's no "Fixes:" tag, so then I had to go and look up that
this wasn't stable material (it doesn't seem to be, the "Fixes" tag
would seem to be 24e44cc22aa3 ("mm: percpu: enable per-cpu allocation
tagging") from the current merge window

All of which means that I ended up just fetching the patch, fixing up
the commit message, and applying it manually instead.
