Whilst porting the generic qrwlock code over to arm64, it became
apparent that any portable locking code needs finer-grained control of
the memory-ordering guarantees provided by our atomic routines.

In particular: xchg, cmpxchg, {add,sub}_return are often used in
situations where full barrier semantics (currently the only option
available) are not required. For example, when a reader increments a
reader count to obtain a lock, checking the old value to see if a writer
was present, only acquire semantics are strictly needed.

This patch introduces three new ordering semantics for these operations:

  - *_relaxed: No ordering guarantees. This is similar to what we have
               already for the non-return atomics (e.g. atomic_add).

  - *_acquire: ACQUIRE semantics, similar to smp_load_acquire.

  - *_release: RELEASE semantics, similar to smp_store_release.

In memory-ordering speak, this means that the acquire/release semantics
are RCpc as opposed to RCsc. Consequently a RELEASE followed by an
ACQUIRE does not imply a full barrier, as already documented in
memory-barriers.txt.

Currently, all the new macros are conditionally mapped to the full-mb
variants, however if the *_relaxed version is provided by the
architecture, then the acquire/release variants are constructed by
supplementing the relaxed routine with an explicit barrier.
