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.

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.
