Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change to core locking facilities in this cycle is the introduction of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt project and identifies CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled opaquely beind preempt_disable() or local_irq_save/disable() critical sections. The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but still there are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation of data structure accesses. The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a couple of kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended. There's also other smaller changes and cleanups" * tag 'locking-core-2020-06-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: zram: Use local lock to protect per-CPU data zram: Allocate struct zcomp_strm as per-CPU memory connector/cn_proc: Protect send_msg() with a local lock squashfs: Make use of local lock in multi_cpu decompressor mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection radix-tree: Use local_lock for protection locking: Introduce local_lock() locking/lockdep: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array locking/rtmutex: Remove unused rt_mutex_cmpxchg_relaxed()
