I don't see how: __clear_bit_unlock() reads @old, flips a bit and then calls
atomic_long_set_release() so the race is not just with set_release.

    static inline int test_and_set_bit_lock(unsigned int nr, volatile unsigned
long *p)
    {
      long old;
      unsigned long mask = (1UL << ((nr) % 32));

      p += ((nr) / 32);
      old = atomic_long_fetch_or_acquire(mask, (atomic_long_t *)p);
      return !!(old & mask);
    }

    static inline void __clear_bit_unlock(unsigned int nr, volatile unsigned long *p)
    {
       unsigned long old;

     p += ((nr) / 32);
    old = // soem typecheck magic on *p
    old &= ~(1UL << ((nr) % 32));
    atomic_long_set_release((atomic_long_t *)p, old);
  }
