The locking in the buffer cloning code is somewhat complex because it goes back and forth between locking the source ring and the destination ring. Make it easier to reason about by locking both rings at the same time. To avoid ABBA deadlocks, lock the rings in ascending kernel address order, just like in lock_two_nondirectories().

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 reStructuredText 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.
