[PATCH v3 02/25] spinlock: Enable x86 architecture to do lockless refcount update

[Waiman Long]

There are two steps to enable each architecture to do lockless
reference count update:
1. Define the ARCH_SPINLOCK_REFCOUNT config parameter in its Kconfig
   file.
2. Add a <asm/spinlock_refcount.h> architecture specific header file.

This is done for the x86 architecture to use the generic version
available.
