The patch now reads:

Subject: sched/wakeup: Strengthen current_save_and_set_rtlock_wait_state()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

While looking at current_save_and_set_rtlock_wait_state() I'm thinking
it really ought to use smp_store_mb(), because using it for a more
traditional wait loop like:

	current_save_and_set_rtlock_wait_state();
	for (;;) {
		if (cond)
			schedule();

		set_current_state(TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT);
	}
	current_restore_rtlock_saved_state();

is actually broken, since the cond load could be re-ordered against
the state store, which could lead to a missed wakeup -> BAD (tm).

While there, make them consistent with the IRQ usage in
set_special_state().
