This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.
This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.
I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.
Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.
I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.
Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

Rather than trying to wait until all possible lockers have
unlocked the lock, we now only wait until the current locker
(if any) has released the lock.
The old code was correct, but the new code works more like the x86
code and thus hopefully is more appropriate under contention.
See commit 78bff1c8684f ("x86/ticketlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait()
livelock") for x86.

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.
Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.
The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.
Changes to existing files:
- <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the
include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header.
- <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.
- <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were
previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now
they have the proper 64-bit contents.
Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).
