Merge misc fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "9 fixes"

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>:
  fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: Fix a NULL pointer dereference
  mm/page_alloc.c: fix never set ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag
  mm/page_alloc.c: avoid potential NULL pointer dereference
  mm, page_alloc: always use a captured page regardless of compaction result
  mm: do not boost watermarks to avoid fragmentation for the DISCONTIG memory model
  lib/test_vmalloc.c: do not create cpumask_t variable on stack
  lib/Kconfig.debug: fix build error without CONFIG_BLOCK
  zram: pass down the bvec we need to read into in the work struct
