atomic: add atomic_inc_not_zero_hint()
Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010 In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp sockets for example) Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help processor to use less bus transactions. On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state, because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership) akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h. This means that new code should henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h. The presence of include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use of asm/atomic.h. The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.
