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).
