--------
Like with atomic_t, the rule of thumb is:
- non-RMW operations are unordered;
-
- RMW operations that have no return value are unordered;
-
- RMW operations that have a return value are fully ordered.
-
- RMW operations that are conditional are fully ordered.
Except for a successful test_and_set_bit_lock() which has ACQUIRE semantics,
