    Remove the wfe() for bounded wait in bakery_lock · d4f4ad90
    Soby Mathew authored
    This patch is an optimization in the bakery_lock_get() function
    which removes the wfe() when waiting for other contenders to choose
    their ticket i.e when their `entering` flag is set. Since the time
    taken to execute bakery_get_ticket() by other contenders is bounded,
    this wait is a bounded time wait. Hence the removal of wfe() and the
    corresponding sev() and dsb() in bakery_get_ticket() may result
    in better time performance during lock acquisition.
