[PATCH 00/10] locking: Introduce local{,64}_try_cmpxchg

Add generic and target specific support for local{,64}_try_cmpxchg
and wire up support for all targets that use local_t infrastructure.

The patch enables x86 targets to emit special instruction for
local_try_cmpxchg and also local64_try_cmpxchg for x86_64.

The last patch changes __perf_output_begin in events/ring_buffer
to use new locking primitive and improves code from

     4b3:	48 8b 82 e8 00 00 00 	mov    0xe8(%rdx),%rax
     4ba:	48 8b b8 08 04 00 00 	mov    0x408(%rax),%rdi
     4c1:	8b 42 1c             	mov    0x1c(%rdx),%eax
     4c4:	48 8b 4a 28          	mov    0x28(%rdx),%rcx
     4c8:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
     ...
     4ef:	48 89 c8             	mov    %rcx,%rax
     4f2:	48 0f b1 7a 28       	cmpxchg %rdi,0x28(%rdx)
     4f7:	48 39 c1             	cmp    %rax,%rcx
     4fa:	75 b7                	jne    4b3 <...>

to

     4b2:	48 8b 4a 28          	mov    0x28(%rdx),%rcx
     4b6:	48 8b 82 e8 00 00 00 	mov    0xe8(%rdx),%rax
     4bd:	48 8b b0 08 04 00 00 	mov    0x408(%rax),%rsi
     4c4:	8b 42 1c             	mov    0x1c(%rdx),%eax
     4c7:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
     ...
     4d4:	48 89 c8             	mov    %rcx,%rax
     4d7:	48 0f b1 72 28       	cmpxchg %rsi,0x28(%rdx)
     4dc:	0f 85 d0 00 00 00    	jne    5b2 <...>
     ...
     5b2:	48 89 c1             	mov    %rax,%rcx
     5b5:	e9 fc fe ff ff       	jmp    4b6 <...>

Please note that in addition to removed compare, the load from
0x28(%rdx) gets moved out of the loop and the code is rearranged
according to likely/unlikely tags in the source.
