locking/atomics: Rework ordering barriers
Currently architectures can override __atomic_op_*() to define the barriers used before/after a relaxed atomic when used to build acquire/release/fence variants. This has the unfortunate property of requiring the architecture to define the full wrapper for the atomics, rather than just the barriers they care about, and gets in the way of generating atomics which can be easily read. Instead, this patch has architectures define an optional set of barriers: * __atomic_acquire_fence() * __atomic_release_fence() * __atomic_pre_full_fence() * __atomic_post_full_fence() ... which <linux/atomic.h> uses to build the wrappers. It would be nice if we could undef these, along with the __atomic_op_*() wrappers, but that would break the cmpxchg() wrappers, which are written in preprocessor. Undefs would have been nice, but alas. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
