[PATCH] riscv, bpf: Make BPF_CMPXCHG fully ordered

According to the prototype formal BPF memory consistency model
discussed e.g. in [1] and following the ordering properties of
the C/in-kernel macro atomic_cmpxchg(), a BPF atomic operation
with the BPF_CMPXCHG modifier is fully ordered.  However, the
current RISC-V JIT lowerings fail to meet such memory ordering
property.  This is illustrated by the following litmus test:

BPF BPF__MP+success_cmpxchg+fence
{
 0:r1=x; 0:r3=y; 0:r5=1;
 1:r2=y; 1:r4=f; 1:r7=x;
}
 P0                               | P1                                         ;
 *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = 1             | r1 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 0)                      ;
 r2 = cmpxchg_64 (r3 + 0, r4, r5) | r3 = atomic_fetch_add((u64 *)(r4 + 0), r5) ;
                                  | r6 = *(u64 *)(r7 + 0)                      ;
exists (1:r1=1 /\ 1:r6=0)

whose "exists" clause is not satisfiable according to the BPF
memory model.  Using the current RISC-V JIT lowerings, the test
can be mapped to the following RISC-V litmus test:

RISCV RISCV__MP+success_cmpxchg+fence
{
 0:x1=x; 0:x3=y; 0:x5=1;
 1:x2=y; 1:x4=f; 1:x7=x;
}
 P0                 | P1                          ;
 sd x5, 0(x1)       | ld x1, 0(x2)                ;
 L00:               | amoadd.d.aqrl x3, x5, 0(x4) ;
 lr.d x2, 0(x3)     | ld x6, 0(x7)                ;
 bne x2, x4, L01    |                             ;
 sc.d x6, x5, 0(x3) |                             ;
 bne x6, x4, L00    |                             ;
 fence rw, rw       |                             ;
 L01:               |                             ;
exists (1:x1=1 /\ 1:x6=0)

where the two stores in P0 can be reordered.  Update the RISC-V
JIT lowerings/implementation of BPF_CMPXCHG to emit an SC with
RELEASE ("rl") annotation in order to meet the expected memory
ordering guarantees.  The resulting RISC-V JIT lowerings of
BPF_CMPXCHG match the RISC-V lowerings of the C atomic_cmpxchg().
