hi, this is the patch for ll/sc bug in Loongson3 based on Linux-4.20
(8fe28cb58bcb235034b64cbbb7550a8a43fd88be)
+. it cover all loongson3 CPU;
+. to fix the ll/sc bug *sufficiently and exactly*, this patch shows
how many places need to touch
+. it is built ok for on Loongson3 and Cavium/Octeon, old version is
