Subject: [PATCH v2 29/36] MIPS: cmpxchg: Omit redundant barriers for Loongson3

When building a kernel configured to support Loongson3 LL/SC workarounds
(ie. CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS=y) the inline assembly in
__xchg_asm() & __cmpxchg_asm() already emits completion barriers, and as
such we don't need to emit extra barriers from the xchg() or cmpxchg()
macros. Add compile-time constant checks causing us to omit the
redundant memory barriers.
