Merge branch 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two fixes for locking: - Plug a hole the pi_stat->owner serialization which was changed recently and failed to fixup two usage sites. - Prevent reordering of the rwsem_has_spinner() check vs the decrement of rwsem count in up_write() which causes a missed wakeup" * 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: locking/rwsem-xadd: Fix missed wakeup due to reordering of load futex: Fix pi_state->owner serialization
