Commit d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against
concurrent lockers") fixed spin_unlock_wait for LL/SC-based atomics under
the premise that the LSE atomics (in particular, the LDADDA instruction)
are indivisible.
Unfortunately, these instructions are only indivisible when used with the
-AL (full ordering) suffix and, consequently, the same issue can
theoretically be observed with LSE atomics, where a later (in program
order) load can be speculated before the write portion of the atomic
operation.
This patch fixes the issue by performing a CAS of the lock once we've
established that it's unlocked, in much the same way as the LL/SC code.
