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 fixes: tighten up a jump-labels warning to not trigger on certain
modules and fix confusing (and non-existent) mutex API documentation"
* 'locking-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
jump_label: Disable jump labels in __exit code
locking/mutex: Improve documentation
