[patch] mutex: optimise generic mutex implementations

[Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>]

Speed up generic mutex implementations.

- atomic operations which both modify the variable and return something imply
  full smp memory barriers before and after the memory operations involved
  (failing atomic_cmpxchg, atomic_add_unless, etc don't imply a barrier because
  they don't modify the target). See Documentation/atomic_ops.txt.
  So remove extra barriers and branches.
  
- All architectures support atomic_cmpxchg. This has no relation to
  __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. We can just take the atomic_cmpxchg path unconditionally

This reduces a simple single threaded fastpath lock+unlock test from 590 cycles
to 203 cycles on a ppc970 system.
