[RESEND RFC PATCH v2 0/6] Deduplicating RISCV cmpxchg.h macros

[Leonardo Bras]

Re-sending, since previous send did not work on patchwork.

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.

I split those changes in 3 levels for each cmpxchg and xchg, resulting a 
total of 6 patches. I did this so it becomes easier to review and remove 
the last levels if desired, but I have no issue squashing them if it's 
better.

Please provide comments.

Thanks!
Leo
