Currently the CT lock is used to cover TLB invalidation
sequence number updates. In an effort to separate the GuC
back end tracking of communication with the firmware from
the front end TLB sequence number tracking, add a new lock
here to specifically track those sequence number updates
coming in from the user.
Apart from the CT lock, we also have a pending lock to
cover both pending fences and sequence numbers received
from the back end. Those cover interrupt cases and so
it makes not to overload those with sequence numbers
coming in from new transactions. In that way, we'll employ
a mutex here.
v2: Actually add the correct lock rather than just dropping
it... (Matt)

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.
