Pull memblock updates from Mike Rapoport: - new memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() helper to replace totalram_pages() which is less accurate when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set - fixes for memblock tests * tag 'memblock-v6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/memblock: s390/mm: get estimated free pages by memblock api kernel/fork.c: get estimated free pages by memblock api mm/memblock: introduce a new helper memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() memblock test: fix implicit declaration of function 'strscpy' memblock test: fix implicit declaration of function 'isspace' memblock test: fix implicit declaration of function 'memparse' memblock test: add the definition of __setup() memblock test: fix implicit declaration of function 'virt_to_phys' tools/testing: abstract two init.h into common include directory memblock tests: include export.h in linkage.h as kernel dose memblock tests: include memory_hotplug.h in mmzone.h as kernel dose
