So you're running on LL/SC enabled hardware; that would make Will's
patch irrelevant (although still a good idea for the hardware that does
care about that spinlocked atomic crud).
Does something like the below cure things? That would confirm the
suggestion that the change to __clear_bit_unlock() is the curprit.
If that doesn't cure things, then we've been looking in entirely the
wrong place.
