Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of locking fixes and updates:

   - Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
     various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
     validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.

   - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
     above fallout.

     seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
     serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
     per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
     cannot validate that the lock is held.

     This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
     sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
     initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
     writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
     and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
     the lock is held.

     Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
     required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
     is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
     of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
     been moved up.

     Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
     which have been addressed already independent of this.

     While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
     kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
     the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
     the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
     storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
     seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
     reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.

   - Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
     initializers"
