[PATCH 1/10] BC: introduce atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave()

[Kirill Korotaev <dev@sw.ru>]

Oleg Nesterov noticed to me that the construction like
(used in beancounter patches and free_uid()):

  local_irq_save(flags);
  if (atomic_dec_and_lock(&refcnt, &lock))
	  ...

is not that good for preemtible kernels, since with preemption
spin_lock() can schedule() to reduce latency. However, it won't schedule
if interrupts are disabled.

So this patch introduces atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave() as a logical
counterpart to atomic_dec_and_lock().
