arm64: atomics: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU
On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1, it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences. This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that the CPU supports it. If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.
