smp_cond_load_acquire() provides a way to spin on a variable with acquire semantics until some conditional expression involving the variable is satisfied. Architectures such as arm64 can potentially enter a low-power state, waking up only when the value of the variable changes, which reduces the system impact of tight polling loops. This patch makes the same interface available to users of atomic_t, atomic64_t and atomic_long_t, rather than require messy accesses to the structure internals.
