tools/memory-model: Add model support for spin_is_locked()
This commit first adds a trivial macro for spin_is_locked() to linux-kernel.def. It also adds cat code for enumerating all possible matches of lock write events (set LKW) with islocked events returning true (set RL, for Read from Lock), and unlock write events (set UL) with islocked events returning false (set RU, for Read from Unlock). Note that this intentionally does not model uniprocessor kernels (CONFIG_SMP=n) built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=n, in which spin_is_locked() unconditionally returns zero. It also adds a pair of litmus tests demonstrating the minimal ordering provided by spin_is_locked() in conjunction with spin_lock(). Will Deacon noted that this minimal ordering happens on ARMv8: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180226162426.GB17158@arm.com Notice that herd7 installations strictly older than version 7.49 do not handle the new constructs.
