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

The current implementation is the same with 8e86f0b409a4
("arm64: atomics: fix use of acquire + release for full barrier
semantics"). RISC-V could combine acquire and release into the SC
instructions and it could reduce a fence instruction to gain better
performance. Here is related descriptio from RISC-V ISA 10.2
Load-Reserved/Store-Conditional Instructions:

 - .aq:   The LR/SC sequence can be given acquire semantics by
          setting the aq bit on the LR instruction.
 - .rl:   The LR/SC sequence can be given release semantics by
          setting the rl bit on the SC instruction.
 - .aqrl: Setting the aq bit on the LR instruction, and setting
          both the aq and the rl bit on the SC instruction makes
          the LR/SC sequence sequentially consistent, meaning that
          it cannot be reordered with earlier or later memory
          operations from the same hart.

 Software should not set the rl bit on an LR instruction unless
 the aq bit is also set, nor should software set the aq bit on an
 SC instruction unless the rl bit is also set. LR.rl and SC.aq
 instructions are not guaranteed to provide any stronger ordering
 than those with both bits clear, but may result in lower
 performance.

The only difference is when sc.w/d.aqrl failed, it would cause .aq
effect than before. But it's okay for sematic because overlap
address LR couldn't beyond relating SC.
