Linus Torvalds 6cbf5b3105 Locking changes for v6.8:
- lock guards:
 
    - Use lock guards in the ptrace code
 
    - Introduce conditional guards to extend to conditional lock
      primitives like mutex_trylock()/mutex_lock_interruptible()/etc.
 
 - lockdep:
 
    - Optimize 'struct lock_class' to be smaller
 
    - Update file patterns in MAINTAINERS
 
 - mutexes: Document mutex lifetime rules a bit more
