Merge tag 'locking_urgent_for_v6.17_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull locking fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Make sure sanity checks down in the mutex lock path happen on the
   correct type of task so that they don't trigger falsely

 - Use the write unsafe user access pairs when writing a futex value to
   prevent an error on PowerPC which does user read and write accesses
   differently

  locking: Fix __clear_task_blocked_on() warning from __ww_mutex_wound() path
  futex: Use user_write_access_begin/_end() in futex_put_value()
