Merge branch 'core/locking' into perfcounters/core
Merge reason: we moved a mutex.h commit that originated from the perfcounters tree into core/locking - but now merge back that branch to solve a merge artifact and to pick up cleanups of this commit that happened in core/locking. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
