Replace the byte locks with ticket locks. Ticket locks are: a) fair;
and b) peform better when contented since they spin without an atomic
operation.
The lock is split into two ticket values: head and tail. A locker
acquires a ticket by (atomically) increasing tail and using the
previous tail value. A CPU holds the lock if its ticket == head. The
lock is released by increasing head.
spin_lock_irq() and spin_lock_irqsave() now spin with irqs disabled
(previously, they would spin with irqs enabled if possible). This is
required to prevent deadlocks when the irq handler tries to take the
same lock with a higher ticket.
Architectures need only provide arch_fetch_and_add() and two barriers:
arch_lock_acquire_barrier() and arch_lock_release_barrier().
