[PATCH V3] x86 spinlock: Fix memory corruption on completing completions

As explained by Linus currently it does:

add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);
/* add_smp() is a full mb() */
if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))

Current approach seem to be working now. (though we could not avoid read).

[PATCH V12 0/14] Paravirtualized ticket spinlocks
This series replaces the existing paravirtualized spinlock mechanism
with a paravirtualized ticketlock mechanism. The series provides
implementation for both Xen and KVM.
The current set of patches are for Xen/x86 spinlock/KVM guest side, to be included
against -tip.
I 'll be sending a separate patchset for KVM host based on kvm tree.
Please note I have added the below performance result
