Merge branch 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is the MCS spinlock generalization changes from Tim
  Chen, Peter Zijlstra, Jason Low et al.  There's also lockdep
  fixes/enhancements from Oleg Nesterov, in particular a false negative
  fix related to lockdep_set_novalidate_class() usage"

* 'core-locking-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (22 commits)
