The ORDERING section of Documentation/atomic_t.txt can easily be read as saying that conditional atomic RMW operations that fail are ordered when those operations have the _acquire() or _release() suffixes. This is not the case, therefore update this section to make it clear that failed conditional atomic RMW operations provide no ordering.
