locking/atomics, cmpxchg: Privatize the inclusion of asm/cmpxchg.h

After commit:

  654672d4ba1a ("locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic operations")

Architectures may only provide {cmp,}xchg_relaxed definitions in
asm/cmpxchg.h. Other variants, such as {cmp,}xchg, may be built in
linux/atomic.h, which means simply including asm/cmpxchg.h may not get
the definitions of all the{cmp,}xchg variants.

Therefore, we should privatize the inclusions of asm/cmpxchg.h to
keep it only included in arch/* and replace the inclusions outside
with linux/atomic.h

 memory-barrier semantics as the atomic and bit operations returning
 values.
 
+Note: If someone wants to use xchg(), cmpxchg() and their variants,
+linux/atomic.h should be included rather than asm/cmpxchg.h, unless
+the code is in arch/* and can take care of itself.
+
 Spinlocks and rwlocks have memory barrier expectations as well.
 The rule to follow is simple:
