Merge branch 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two rtmutex race fixes (which miraculously never triggered, that we
know of), plus two lockdep printk formatting regression fixes"
* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
lockdep: Fix report formatting
locking/rtmutex: Use READ_ONCE() in rt_mutex_owner()
locking/rtmutex: Prevent dequeue vs. unlock race
locking/selftest: Fix output since KERN_CONT changes
