Thanks.

Just a note for our external module repo, which is supposed to be
compatible to "all" kernel versions: don't apply,
requires upstream commits
44d7175 mm/dmapool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in dma_pool_destroy()
4e3ca3e mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()
3942d29 mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()
(v4.3-rc1)
