Merge branch 'exec-update-lock-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull exec-update-lock update from Eric Biederman:
"The key point of this is to transform exec_update_mutex into a
rw_semaphore so readers can be separated from writers.
This makes it easier to understand what the holders of the lock are
doing, and makes it harder to contend or deadlock on the lock.
The real deadlock fix wound up in perf_event_open"
