Hi,

Andi Kleen previously pointed out a get/set race in the sched_feat()
infrastructure. I had previously proposed to address this with a new
static_key set_true/set_false API:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1955879

However, I think its simpler to just add higher level locking as
Ingo previously suggested, and that is how other consumers of the
this interface are already operating. It seems a bit like overkill
to add this new API, just for this one case.

So, this locking change is in patch 2. Patch 1 is a small cleanup, but
no functional change.

Thanks,

-Jason
