4cec873614 Fix mutex_trylock() copy-and-paste bug (x86, x86-64, generic mutex-dec.h)
Noticed by Arjan originally on x86-64, then Ingo on x86, and finally me
grepping for it in the generic version.

Bad parenthesis nesting.

620a6fd185 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, add asm-generic/mutex-[dec|xchg|null].h implementations
Add three (generic) mutex fastpath implementations.

The mutex-xchg.h implementation is atomic_xchg() based, and should
work fine on every architecture.

The mutex-dec.h implementation is atomic_dec_return() based - this
one too should work on every architecture, but might not perform the
most optimally on architectures that have no atomic-dec/inc instructions.

The mutex-null.h implementation forces all calls into the slowpath. This
is used for mutex debugging, but it can also be used on platforms that do
not want (or need) a fastpath at all.
