Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
 "This starts with a couple of fixes for potential deadlocks in the
  fowner/fasync handling.

  The next patch removes the old mandatory locking code from the kernel
  altogether.

  The last patch cleans up rw_verify_area a bit more after the mandatory
  locking removal"

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
