Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7955/1: spinlock: ensure we have a compiler barrier
 before sev

commit 7c8746a9eb287642deaad0e7c2cdf482dce5e4be upstream.

When unlocking a spinlock, we require the following, strictly ordered
sequence of events:

	<barrier>	/* dmb */
	<unlock>
	<barrier>	/* dsb */
	<sev>

Whilst the code does indeed reflect this in terms of the architecture,
the final <barrier> + <sev> have been contracted into a single inline
asm without a "memory" clobber, therefore the compiler is at liberty to
reorder the unlock to the end of the above sequence. In such a case,
a waiting CPU may be woken up before the lock has been unlocked, leading
to extremely poor performance.

This patch reworks the dsb_sev() function to make use of the dsb()
macro and ensure ordering against the unlock.
