The ARM arch_{read,write}_trylock implementations include unused
backwards branch labels, since we don't retry the locking operation
if the exclusive store fails.
This patch removes the labels.

Ticket spinlocks ensure locking fairness by introducing a FIFO-like
nature to the granting of lock acquisitions and also reducing the
thundering herd effect when spinning on a lock by allowing the cacheline
to remain in a shared state amongst the waiting CPUs. This is especially
important on systems where memory-access times are not necessarily
uniform when accessing the lock structure (for example, on a
multi-cluster platform where the lock is allocated into L1 when a CPU
releases it).
This patch implements the ticket spinlock algorithm for ARM, replacing
the simpler implementation for ARMv6+ processors.

The content for ALT_SMP() in the definition of WFE() expands to 6
bytes (IT cc ; WFEcc.W), which breaks the assumptions of the fixup
code, leading to lockups when the affected code gets run.
This patch works around the problem by explicitly using an
IT + WFEcc.N pair.

SMP requires at least the ARMv6K extensions to be present, so if we're
running on SMP, the WFE and SEV instructions must be available.
However, when we run on UP, the v6K extensions may not be available,
and so we don't want WFE/SEV to be in the instruction stream. Use the
SMP alternatives infrastructure to replace these instructions with NOPs
if we build for SMP but run on UP.

On ARMv7, the use of the cp15 operations for barriers is deprecated
in favour of the isb, dsb, and dmb instructions. Change the locking
functions to use the appropriate type of dsb for the architecture
being built for.

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

Pass the original flags to rwlock arch-code, so that it can re-enable
interrupts if implemented for that architecture.
Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs
which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.
