Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mutex: Modifications to mutex

v2->v3:
- Merge patches 2 and 3 from the v2 patchset into one patch as suggested.
- Update Reviewed-by/Acked-by

v1->v2:
- Remove the MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER() macro.
- Use !mutex_is_locked() instead of introducing a new MUTEX_IS_UNLOCKED() macro.
- Add more information to the changelog of the "Optimize mutex trylock slowpath"
  patch.

This patchset contains documentation fixes, optimizations, and improvements
to code clarity for mutex.

Jason Low (3):
  mutex: Correct documentation on mutex optimistic spinning
  mutex: Try-acquire mutex only if unlocked and improve code clarity
  mutex: Optimize mutex trylock slowpath
