mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.1-rc5
commit 8968c67a82ab
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 14814
CVE: NA

-------------------------------------------------

Prefetch-with-intent-to-write is currently part of the XADD mapping in
the AArch64 JIT and follows the kernel's implementation of atomic_add.
This may interfere with other threads executing the LDXR/STXR loop,
leading to potential starvation and fairness issues. Drop the optional
prefetch instruction.
