    locking/qspinlock: Extract out code snippets for the next patch · 6403bd7d
    Waiman Long authored
    This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code
    snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch.
    
     1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words
        into a new xchg_tail() function.
     2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit
        into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function.
    
    This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by
    calling queued_spin_trylock() directly.
