MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.

Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro
smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are
documented as needing write barrier semantics.

The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(),
so there are no changes in semantics.

Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just
barrier() in the non-SMP case.

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

MIPS: __raw_spin_lock() may spin forever on ticket wrap.

If the lock is not acquired and has to spin *and* the second attempt
to acquire the lock fails, the delay time is not masked by the ticket
range mask. If the ticket number wraps around to zero, the result is
that the lock sampling delay is essentially infinite (due to casting
-1 to an unsigned int).

The fix: Always mask the difference between my_ticket and the current
ticket value before calculating the delay.

x86: spinlocks: define dummy __raw_spin_is_contended

Architectures other than mips and x86 are not using ticket spinlocks.
Therefore, the contention on the lock is meaningless, since there is
nobody known to be waiting on it (arguably /fairly/ unfair locks).

Dummy it out to return 0 on other architectures.
