[GIT PULL locking/mb] Locking/memory-barrier commits

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hello, Ingo,

This pull request contains additions to the memory-barrier documentation,
along with a downgrading of UNLOCK+LOCK to no longer be a full memory
barrier, and finally an smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() that allows upgrading
a particular LOCK to pair with a preceding UNLOCK to form a full memory
barrier, and application of smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() to RCU.

The first four documentation commits are ready for 3.14:

b145f8acfd82 (Add needed ACCESS_ONCE() calls to memory-barriers.txt)
6be08d626389 (Add long atomic examples to memory-barriers.txt)
c89bb78cfbe1 (Prohibit speculative writes)
b2ba08be67fc (Document ACCESS_ONCE())

The remaining commits might or might not be, but are at a point where
getting them into -tip is appropriate given other changes in this area,
e.g., Peter's smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release().

These changes are available in the git repository at:
