ARM: 7749/1: spinlock: retry trylock operation if strex fails on free lock

commit 15e7e5c1 upstream.

An exclusive store instruction may fail for reasons other than lock
contention (e.g. a cache eviction during the critical section) so, in
line with other architectures using similar exclusive instructions
(alpha, mips, powerpc), retry the trylock operation if the lock appears
to be free but the strex reported failure.
