    Pull locking/atomics update from Thomas Gleixner:
     "The locking, atomics and memory model brains delivered:
    
       - A larger update to the atomics code which reworks the ordering
         barriers, consolidates the atomic primitives, provides the new
         atomic64_fetch_add_unless() primitive and cleans up the include
         hell.
    
       - Simplify cmpxchg() instrumentation and add instrumentation for
         xchg() and cmpxchg_double().
    
       - Updates to the memory model and documentation"
