Its always OK (and actually useful) to move your branch head up to
where Linus merged it (this is usually a fast forward anyway) since
that doesn't add any new code to linux-next to conflict with code that
is still pending to be merged by Linus.

Also, adding bug fixes is always fine.

I just want to avoid getting conflicts in linux-next between code
that Linus will merge during this merge window and new code destined
for the next merge window.
