Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"
