[PATCH v2 0/6] ARC: spinlocks/atomics rework

[Vineet Gupta]

The PREFETCHW workaround for llock/scond livelock was not sufficient after
all and we had to do some work there. Extending testing of quad core FPGA
builds shows things pretty stable, whereas w/o patches some of the LTP tests
(shm_open/23-1) would cause the system to go bonkers.

Changes since v1* (all thx to Peter Zijlstra)

* 3/6 - updated changelog
* 4/6 - updated changelog
	arch_write_unlock() need not use LLOCK/SCOND
* 5/6 - Conditional implementation of SCOND_FAIL_RETRY* in atomics (reduced dup)
	Handle overflow of delay counter in SCOND_FAIL_RETRY_ASM
* 6/6 - updated changelog
