    Pull locking updates from Ingo Molar:
     "Lock guards:
    
       - Use lock guards in the ptrace code
    
       - Introduce conditional guards to extend to conditional lock
         primitives like mutex_trylock()/mutex_lock_interruptible()/etc.
    
      lockdep:
    
       - Optimize 'struct lock_class' to be smaller
    
       - Update file patterns in MAINTAINERS
    
      mutexes:
    
       - Document mutex lifetime rules a bit more"
    
    * tag 'locking-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
      locking/mutex: Clarify that mutex_unlock(), and most other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object after it's unlocked
      locking/mutex: Document that mutex_unlock() is non-atomic
      ptrace: Convert ptrace_attach() to use lock guards
      locking/lockdep: Slightly reorder 'struct lock_class' to save some memory
      MAINTAINERS: Add include/linux/lockdep*.h
      cleanup: Add conditional guard support
