Thank you very much, hand-applied as a preparatory patch for
"Suppress lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints", please see
below.

What I don't understand is why 0day test robot didn't complain about
my copy of the exact same patch.  Or maybe it did and I fat-fingered it?
Except that I have gotten "BUILD SUCCESS" reports for commits including
that one.

Ah well, hopefully all is well that ends well...

Best of everything on the presentation, and hope that I didn't mess
you up too badly.

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu: do not include rtmutex_common.h unconditionally
    
    This commit adjusts include files and provides definitions in preparation
    for suppressing lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints.  Without
    this preparation, architectures not supporting rt_mutex will get build
    failures.
