Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for locking and jump labels:
- Ensure that the atomic_cmpxchg() conditions are correct and
evaluating to true on any non-zero value except 1. The missing
check of the return value leads to inconsisted state of the jump
label counter.
- Add a missing type conversion in the paravirt spinlock code which
makes loongson build again"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
