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

Pull support for killable rwsems from Ingo Molnar:
 "This, by Michal Hocko, implements down_write_killable().

  The main usecase will be to update mm_sem usage sites to use this new
  API, to allow the mm-reaper introduced in commit aac453635549 ("mm,
  oom: introduce oom reaper") to tear down oom victim address spaces
  asynchronously with minimum latencies and without deadlock worries"

[ The vfs will want it too as the inode lock is changed from a mutex to
  a rwsem due to the parallel lookup and readdir updates ]
