Elena Reshetova 47b8f3ab9c refcount_t: Add ACQUIRE ordering on success for dec(sub)_and_test() variants
This adds an smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() barrier on successful
decrease of refcounter value from 1 to 0 for refcount_dec(sub)_and_test
variants and therefore gives stronger memory ordering guarantees than
prior versions of these functions.
