That commit is now gone and should be replaced with the below on the

    jump_label: Fix static_key_slow_dec() yet again
    
    While commit 83ab38ef0a0b ("jump_label: Fix concurrency issues in
    static_key_slow_dec()") fixed one problem, it created yet another,
    notably the following is now possible:
    
      slow_dec
        if (try_dec) // dec_not_one-ish, false
        // enabled == 1
                                    slow_inc
                                      if (inc_not_disabled) // inc_not_zero-ish
                                      // enabled == 2
                                        return
    
        guard((mutex)(&jump_label_mutex);
        if (atomic_cmpxchg(1,0)==1) // false, we're 2
    
                                    slow_dec
                                      if (try-dec) // dec_not_one, true
                                      // enabled == 1
                                        return
        else
          try_dec() // dec_not_one, false
          WARN
    
    Use dec_and_test instead of cmpxchg(), like it was prior to
    83ab38ef0a0b. Add a few WARNs for the paranoid.
