[PATCH V11 09/17] riscv: qspinlock: errata: Add ERRATA_THEAD_WRITE_ONCE fixup

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

The early version of T-Head C9xx cores has a store merge buffer
delay problem. The store merge buffer could improve the store queue
performance by merging multi-store requests, but when there are not
continued store requests, the prior single store request would be
waiting in the store queue for a long time. That would cause
significant problems for communication between multi-cores. This
problem was found on sg2042 & th1520 platforms with the qspinlock
lock torture test.

So appending a fence w.o could immediately flush the store merge
buffer and let other cores see the write result.

This will apply the WRITE_ONCE errata to handle the non-standard
behavior via appending a fence w.o instruction for WRITE_ONCE().
