[PATCH 0/8] locking: Various updates

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

Hello,

A little bit of everything really, with the last two patches being
the most interesting ones.

Patch 1 fixes a silly typo.
Patches 2-5 cleanup a bit of ww mutex code.
Patch 6 isolates osq code.
Patch 7 uses the brand new READ/ASSIGN_ONCE primitives.
Patch 8 is a performance patch and gets rid of barrier calls when
        polling for the (osq) lock.

More details obviously in the individual patches. Applies on today's -tip.

Please consider for 3.20, thanks!
