[PATCH] docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text
From: Alyssa Rosenzweig
Date: Fri Sep 03 2021 - 11:18:35 EST
Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking
documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text
was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

Be reluctant to introduce new locks.
