[PATCH v5 1/5] asm-generic: barrier: Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout()

Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), which extends
smp_cond_load_relaxed() to allow waiting for a duration.
The additional parameter allows for the timeout check.
The waiting is done via the usual cpu_relax() spin-wait around the
condition variable with periodic evaluation of the time-check.
The number of times we spin is defined by SMP_TIMEOUT_SPIN_COUNT
(chosen to be 200 by default) which, assuming each cpu_relax()
iteration takes around 20-30 cycles (measured on a variety of x86
platforms), amounts to around 4000-6000 cycles.
