Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] Rework & improve riscv cmpxchg.h and atomic.h

While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in
understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of
{cmp,}xchg.

When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the
duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly
changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers.

Also, did the same kind of work on atomic.c.

After that, I noted both cmpxchg and xchg only accept variables of 
size 4 and 8, compared to x86 and arm64 which do 1,2,4,8.

Now that deduplication is done, it is quite direct to implement them
for variable sizes 1 and 2, so I did it. Then Guo Ren already presented
me some possible users :)

I did compare the generated asm on a test.c that contained usage for every
changed function, and could not detect any change on patches 1 + 2 + 3 
compared with upstream.

Pathes 4 & 5 were compiled-tested, merged with guoren/qspinlock_v11 and
booted just fine with qemu -machine virt -append "qspinlock". 

(tree: https://gitlab.com/LeoBras/linux/-/commits/guo_qspinlock_v11)

Latest tests happened based on this tree:

Thanks!

Changes since squashed cmpxchg RFCv5:
- Resend as v1
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230810040349.92279-2-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since squashed cmpxchg RFCv4:
- Added (__typeof__(*(p))) before returning from {cmp,}xchg, as done
  in current upstream, (possibly) fixing the bug from kernel test robot

Changes since squashed cmpxchg RFCv3:
- Fixed bug on cmpxchg macro for var size 1 & 2: now working
- Macros for var size 1 & 2's lr.w and sc.w now are guaranteed to receive
  input of a 32-bit aligned address

- __rc variable on macros for var size 1 & 2 changed from register to ulong 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230804084900.1135660-2-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since squashed cmpxchg RFCv2:
- Removed rc parameter from the new macro: it can be internal to the macro
- 2 new patches: cmpxchg size 1 and 2, xchg size 1 and 2
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230803051401.710236-2-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since squashed cmpxchg RFCv1:
- Unified with atomic.c patchset
- Rebased on top of torvalds/master (thanks Andrea Parri!)
- Removed helper macros that were not being used elsewhere in the kernel.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230404163741.2762165-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since (cmpxchg) RFCv2:
- Fixed  macros that depend on having a local variable with a magic name
- Previous cast to (long) is now only applied on 4-bytes cmpxchg
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230321074249.2221674-1-leobras@redhat.com/

Changes since (cmpxchg) RFCv1:
- Fixed patch 4/6 suffix from 'w.aqrl' to '.w.aqrl', to avoid build error
