Merge branch 'modules-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "The biggest change here is in-kernel support for module decompression.
  This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as
  otherwise it loses link between the source of kernel module on the
  disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel.

  kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done,
  both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it
  adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading
  it into the kernel.

  The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth
  mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of
  modules as she's taking a break from work.

  While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet
  received much review of testing so I'm not yet comfortable in merging
  any of those changes yet."
