    Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
      couple of major projects happened to coincide.
    
      The main changes are:
    
       - implement the atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}() API natively
         across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
         (Davidlohr Bueso)
    
       - optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
         Waiman Long)
    
       - optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
         atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
         on arm64 (Will Deacon)
    
       - introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
         mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
         implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
         usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - optimize mutex_trylock() fastpath (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - ... misc fixes and cleanups"
