   # HEAD: e57d143091f1c0b1a98140a4d2e63e113afb62c0 mutex: Fix up mutex_waiter usage

This cycle's changes were:

 - Improve rwsem scalability
 - Add uninitialized rwsem debugging check
 - Reduce lockdep's stacktrace memory usage and add diagnostics
 - Misc cleanups, code consolidation and constification

 Thanks,

	Ingo
