Subject: [PATCH 2/7] atomics/treewide: 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_mb_{before,after}_{acquire,release,fence}(), which <linux/atomic.h>
uses to build the wrappers.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

I'm aware that the naming of these barriers is potentially bad, and something
like atomic_acquire_mb()/atomic_release_mb() might be better. I only really
care that the core code can use the barriers directly rather than this being
hidden in an architecture's __atomic_op_*().
Peter/Will, I'll defer to your judgement on naming.
Thanks,
Mark.
