[PATCH v7 5/6] arm64: futex: small optimisation for __llsc_futex_atomic_set()

__llsc_futex_atomic_set() is implmented using
LLSC_FUTEX_ATOMIC_OP() macro with "mov  %w3, %w5".
But this instruction isn't required to implement fux_atomic_set()
so make a small optimisation by implementing __llsc_futex_atomic_set()
as separate function.

This will make usage of LLSC_FUTEX_ATOMIC_OP() macro more simple.
