Merge tag 'sched_urgent_for_v5.15_rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Tell the compiler to always inline is_percpu_thread()

 - Make sure tunable_scaling buffer is null-terminated after an update
   in sysfs

 - Fix LTP named regression due to cgroup list ordering

* tag 'sched_urgent_for_v5.15_rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched: Always inline is_percpu_thread()
  sched/fair: Null terminate buffer when updating tunable_scaling
  sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq
