Peter Zijlstra b3e0b1b6d8 locking, sched: Introduce smp_cond_acquire() and use it
Introduce smp_cond_acquire() which combines a control dependency and a
read barrier to form acquire semantics.

This primitive has two benefits:

 - it documents control dependencies,
 - its typically cheaper than using smp_load_acquire() in a loop.
