Subject: [GIT PULL] locking changes for v4.18

Linus,

Please pull the latest locking-core-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking-core-for-linus

   # HEAD: 1b22fc609cecd1b16c4a015e1a6b3c9717484e3a locking/rwsem: Simplify the is-owner-spinnable checks

The main changes in this cycle were:

 - Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal 
   memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea Parri,
   Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park. Notable changes beyond an overall update in 
   the tooling itself is the tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which 
   spills over into the kernel proper as well.

 - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward progress
   whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve threads 
   indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups to the qspinlock 
   code. (by Will Deacon)

 - misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking subsystem.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
