Thanks, I've made it into the below patch.

Subject: locking/static_key: Fix false positive warnings on concurrent dec/inc

Even though the atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() in
__static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked() can never see a negative value in
key->enabled the subsequent sanity check is re-reading key->enabled, which may
have been set to -1 in the meantime by static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked().


                CPU  A                               CPU B

 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked():          static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked():
                               # enabled = 1
   atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock()
                               # enabled = 0
                                              atomic_read() == 0
                                              atomic_set(-1)
                               # enabled = -1
   val = atomic_read()
   # Oops - val == -1!


The test case is TCP's clean_acked_data_enable() / clean_acked_data_disable()
as tickled by ktls (net/ktls).
