Hi all,

After merging the bcachefs tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c: In function 'bch2_time_stats_reset':
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:165:27: error: comparison of pointers to disjoint address spaces
165 | stats->buffer != TIME_STATS_NONPCPU) {
| ^~
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c: In function 'bch2_time_stats_exit':
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:175:27: error: comparison of pointers to disjoint address spaces
175 | if (stats->buffer != TIME_STATS_NONPCPU) {
| ^~
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c: In function 'bch2_time_stats_init_no_pcpu':
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:192:23: error: assignment from pointer to non-enclosed address space
192 | stats->buffer = TIME_STATS_NONPCPU;
| ^
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:192:23: note: expected '__seg_gs struct time_stat_buffer *' but pointer is of type 'struct time_stat_buffer *'

Caused by commit

5490554cf06f ("bcachefs: bch2_time_stats_init_no_pcpu()")

interacting with commit

6a367577153a ("percpu/x86: enable strict percpu checks via named AS qualifiers")
(or an associated one)

from the mm-stable tree.

I have applied the following merge fix patch for today (but I think it
could just be applied to the bcachefs tree).
