[ Upstream commit 52d633def56c10fe3e82a2c5d88c3ecb3f4e4852 ]
There are common patterns in the kernel of using test_and_clear_bit() before wake_up_bit(), and atomic_dec_and_test() before wake_up_var().
These combinations don't need extra barriers but sometimes include them unnecessarily.
To help avoid the unnecessary barriers and to help discourage the general use of wake_up_bit/var (which is a fragile interface) introduce two combined functions which implement these patterns.
Also add store_release_wake_up() which supports the task of simply setting a non-atomic variable and sending a wakeup. This pattern requires barriers which are often omitted.
