    Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this cycle are:
    
       - Another attempt at enabling cross-release lockdep dependency
         tracking (automatically part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y), this time
         with better performance and fewer false positives. (Byungchul Park)
    
       - Introduce lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()/disabled() and convert
         open-coded equivalents to lockdep variants. (Frederic Weisbecker)
    
       - Add down_read_killable() and use it in the VFS's iterate_dir()
         method. (Kirill Tkhai)
    
       - Convert remaining uses of ACCESS_ONCE() to
         READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Most of the conversion was Coccinelle
         driven. (Mark Rutland, Paul E. McKenney)
    
       - Get rid of lockless_dereference(), by strengthening Alpha atomics,
         strengthening READ_ONCE() with smp_read_barrier_depends() and thus
         being able to convert users of lockless_dereference() to
         READ_ONCE(). (Will Deacon)
    
       - Various micro-optimizations:
    
            - better PV qspinlocks (Waiman Long),
            - better x86 barriers (Michael S. Tsirkin)
            - better x86 refcounts (Kees Cook)
    
       - ... plus other fixes and enhancements. (Borislav Petkov, Juergen
         Gross, Miguel Bernal Marin)"
