Subject: arm64: spinlock: Fix theoretical trylock() A-B-A with LSE atomics
Git-commit: 202fb4ef81e3ec765c23bd1e6746a5c25b797d0e
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: bsc#1103729

If the spinlock "next" ticket wraps around between the initial LDR
and the cmpxchg in the LSE version of spin_trylock, then we can erroneously
think that we have successfuly acquired the lock because we only check
whether the next ticket return by the cmpxchg is equal to the owner ticket
in our updated lock word.

This patch fixes the issue by performing a full 32-bit check of the lock
word when trying to determine whether or not the CASA instruction updated
memory.
