C MP+polockonce+poacquiresilsil

(*
 * Result: Sometimes
 *
 * Do spinlocks provide order to outside observers using spin_is_locked()
 * to sense the lock-held state, ordered by acquire?  Note that when the
 * first spin_is_locked() returns false and the second true, we know that
 * the smp_load_acquire() executed before the lock was acquired (loosely
 * speaking).
