Merge patch series "Rework & improve riscv cmpxchg.h and atomic.h"

Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> says:

While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in
understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of
{cmp,}xchg.

When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the
duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly
changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers.

Also, did the same kind of work on atomic.c.

After that, I noted both cmpxchg and xchg only accept variables of
size 4 and 8, compared to x86 and arm64 which do 1,2,4,8.

Now that deduplication is done, it is quite direct to implement them
for variable sizes 1 and 2, so I did it. Then Guo Ren already presented
me some possible users :)

I did compare the generated asm on a test.c that contained usage for every
changed function, and could not detect any change on patches 1 + 2 + 3
compared with upstream.

Pathes 4 & 5 were compiled-tested, merged with guoren/qspinlock_v11 and
booted just fine with qemu -machine virt -append "qspinlock".
