[GIT PULL] s390 regression patch for 3.8-rc8

[Martin Schwidefsky]

Hi Linus,

please pull from the 'for-linus' branch of

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-linus

to receive the following updates:
The recent fix for the s390 sched_clock() function uncovered yet
another bug in s390_next_ktime which causes an endless loop in KVM.
This regression should be fixed before v3.8.

I keep the fingers crossed that this is the last one for v3.8.
