Subject: [patch 2/4] jump_label: Fix concurrency issues in static_key_slow_dec()

The commit which tried to fix the concurrency issues of concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() failed to fix the equivalent issues
vs. static_key_slow_dec():

CPU0 CPU1

static_key_slow_dec()
static_key_slow_try_dec()

key->enabled == 1
val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);
if (val == 1)
return false;

jump_label_lock();
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&key->enabled)) {
--> key->enabled == 0
__jump_label_update()

static_key_slow_dec()
static_key_slow_try_dec()

key->enabled == 0
val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);

--> key->enabled == -1 <- FAIL

There is another bug in that code, when there is a concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() which enables the key as that sets key->enabled to -1
so on the other CPU

val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);

will succeed and decrement to -2, which is invalid.

Cure all of this by replacing the atomic_fetch_add_unless() with a
atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop similar to static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().

Harmless yes, but it really should not happen to begin with. If this
happens it means someone wants to disable a key that is in the middle of
getting enabled for the first time.

I'm tempted to want a WARN here instead. Hmm?

No strong opinion
