[PATCH v16 04/14] qspinlock: Extract out code snippets for the next patch

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Apr 24 2015 - 14:58:04 EST


This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code
snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch.

1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words
into a new xchg_tail() function.
2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit
into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function.

This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by
calling queue_spin_trylock() directly.
