+ * but it satisfies the defined semantics for our purpose, while being
+ * smaller and faster than a real atomic decrement or atomic swap.
+ * The idea is to attempt  decrementing the lock value only once. If once
+ * decremented it isn't zero, or if its store-back fails due to a dispute
+ * on the exclusive store, we simply bail out immediately through the slow
+ * path where the lock will be reattempted until it succeeds.
