    Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "So we have a laundry list of locking subsystem changes:
    
       - continuing barrier API and code improvements
    
       - futex enhancements
    
       - atomics API improvements
    
       - pvqspinlock enhancements: in particular lock stealing and adaptive
         spinning
    
       - qspinlock micro-enhancements"
    
    * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

      futex: Remove pointless put_pi_state calls in requeue()
      futex: Document pi_state refcounting in requeue code
      futex: Rename free_pi_state() to put_pi_state()

      locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path
      locking/qspinlock: Avoid redundant read of next pointer
      locking/qspinlock: Prefetch the next node cacheline
