Merge tag 'generic-ticket-spinlocks-v6' of...

Merge tag 'generic-ticket-spinlocks-v6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux into asm-generic

asm-generic: New generic ticket-based spinlock

This contains a new ticket-based spinlock that uses only generic
atomics and doesn't require as much from the memory system as qspinlock
does in order to be fair.  It also includes a bit of documentation about
the qspinlock and qrwlock fairness requirements.

This will soon be used by a handful of architectures that don't meet the
qspinlock requirements.
