Peter Zijlstra 8d53fa1904 locking/qspinlock: Clarify xchg_tail() ordering
While going over the code I noticed that xchg_tail() is a RELEASE but
had no obvious pairing commented.

It pairs with a somewhat unique address dependency through
decode_tail().

So the store-release of xchg_tail() is paired by the address
dependency of the load of xchg_tail followed by the dereference from
the pointer computed from that load.

The @old -> @prev transformation itself is pure, and therefore does
not depend on external state, so that is immaterial wrt. ordering.
