[RFC PATCH 11/13] arm64: percpu: Implement preemptible CMPXCHG ops

Use the PCPU GPR infrastructure to implement all of the {8,16,32,64}-bit
cmpxchg ops.

Note that before this patch, the LL/SC and LSE implementation was chosen
with an alternative branch. After this patch the implementations are
patched inline, matching the style of the other percpu ops.

Generated code before this patch (v7.2-rc4):
