2023-11-15	cleanup: Add conditional guard support	Peter Zijlstra
	Adds: - DEFINE_GUARD_COND() / DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1_COND() to extend existing guards with conditional lock primitives, eg. mutex_trylock(), mutex_lock_interruptible(). nb. both primitives allow NULL 'locks', which cause the lock to fail (obviously). - extends scoped_guard() to not take the body when the the conditional guard 'fails'. eg. scoped_guard (mutex_intr, &task->signal_cred_guard_mutex) { ... } will only execute the body when the mutex is held. - provides scoped_cond_guard(name, fail, args...); which extends scoped_guard() to do fail when the lock-acquire fails.

2023-09-13	cleanup: Make no_free_ptr() __must_check	Peter Zijlstra
	recent discussion brought about the realization that it makes sense for no_free_ptr() to have __must_check semantics in order to avoid leaking the resource. Additionally, add a few comments to clarify why/how things work. All credit to Linus on how to combine __must_check and the stmt-expression.

2023-06-26	locking: Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure	Peter Zijlstra
	Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build: - simple auto-release pointers using __free() - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for scope-based resource management. - lock guards based on the above classes.
