ARM: 7749/1: spinlock: retry trylock operation if strex fails on free lock
commit 15e7e5c1ebf556cd620c9b091e121091ac760f6d upstream.
An exclusive store instruction may fail for reasons other than lock
contention (e.g. a cache eviction during the critical section) so, in
line with other architectures using similar exclusive instructions
(alpha, mips, powerpc), retry the trylock operation if the lock appears
to be free but the strex reported failure.
