I have pulled this in for testing and further review, thank you!

Should either of these files have a locktorture.nlocks=<whatever>
added?

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/lock/LOCK02.boot
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/lock/LOCK05.boot

The first is for mutex_lock and the second for rtmutex_lock.

This did pass a quick "torture.sh --do-none --do-locktorture", which is
good, but this uses the existing .boot files.

							Thanx, Paul
