Davidlohr Bueso 3552a07a9c locking/mcs: Use acquire/release semantics
As of 654672d4ba (locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}()
variants of some atomic operations) and 6d79ef2d30 (locking, asm-generic:
Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for 'atomic_long_t'), weakly
ordered archs can benefit from more relaxed use of barriers when locking
and unlocking, instead of regular full barrier semantics. While currently
only arm64 supports such optimizations, updating corresponding locking
primitives serves for other archs to immediately benefit as well, once the
necessary machinery is implemented of course.

/*
* MCS lock defines
*
* This file contains the main data structure and API definitions of MCS lock.
*
* The MCS lock (proposed by Mellor-Crummey and Scott) is a simple spin-lock
* with the desirable properties of being fair, and with each cpu trying
* to acquire the lock spinning on a local variable.
* It avoids expensive cache bouncings that common test-and-set spin-lock
* implementations incur.
