This series contains a few minor asm cleanups/improvements I've
collected since the last cycle, one of which was previously posted on
its own [1], hence sending as a v2.
Largely, this is simplifying/relaxing constraints to allow for better
code generation. The cmpxchg patch also drops some C code that's made
redundant with the relaxed constraints.
Since v1:
* Accumulate uaccess asm patches
* lse/cmpxchg: allow use of [WX]ZR for 'new'
* lse/cmpxchg: cleanup commit message

I've given these basic boot testing atop v6.3-rc2 under QEMU TCG mode.
Thanks,
Mark.
