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

Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small series of fixes which all address possible missed wakeups:

   - Document and fix the wakeup ordering of wake_q

   - Add the missing barrier in rcuwait_wake_up(), which was documented
     in the comment but missing in the code

   - Fix the possible missed wakeups in the rwsem and futex code"

* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  locking/rwsem: Fix (possible) missed wakeup
  futex: Fix (possible) missed wakeup
  sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q
  sched/wake_q: Document wake_q_add()
  sched/wait: Fix rcuwait_wake_up() ordering
