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 to address shortcomings of the rwsem/percpu-rwsem lock
  debugging code which emits false positive warnings when the rwsem is
  anonymously locked and unlocked"

* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate rwsem ownership transfer by setting RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN
  locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag
