Oleg Nesterov noticed to me that the construction like
(used in beancounter patches and free_uid()):
local_irq_save(flags);
if (atomic_dec_and_lock(&refcnt, &lock))
...
is not that good for preemtible kernels, since with preemption
spin_lock() can schedule() to reduce latency. However, it won't schedule
if interrupts are disabled.
So this patch introduces atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave() as a logical
counterpart to atomic_dec_and_lock().
