Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
   memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
   Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.

   Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
   tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
   kernel proper as well.

 - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
   progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
   threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
   to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)

 - misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
   subsystem
