MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER() is a macro which checks for if there are "no waiters" on a mutex by checking if the lock count is non-negative. Based on feedback from the discussion in the earlier version of this patchset, the macro is not very readable. Furthermore, checking lock->count isn't always the correct way to determine if there are "no waiters" on a mutex. For example, a negative count on a mutex really only means that there "potentially" are waiters. Likewise, there can be waiters on the mutex even if the count is non-negative. Thus, "MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER" doesn't always do what the name of the macro suggests. So this patch deletes the MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITERS() macro, directly use atomic_read() instead of the macro, and adds comments which elaborate on how the extra atomic_read() checks can help reduce unnecessary xchg() operations.
