[PATCH v4 00/10] riscv: Add Zalasr ISA extension support

This patch adds support for the Zalasr ISA extension, which supplies the
real load acquire/store release instructions.

The specification can be found here:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-zalasr/blob/main/chapter2.adoc

This patch seires has been tested with ltp on Qemu with Brensan's zalasr
support patch[1].

Some false positive spacing error happens during patch checking. Thus I
CCed maintainers of checkpatch.pl as well.

v4:
 - Apply acquire/release semantics to arch_atomic operations. Thanks
 to Andrea.

v3:
 - Apply acquire/release semantics to arch_xchg/arch_cmpxchg operations
 so as to ensure FENCE.TSO ordering between operations which precede the
 UNLOCK+LOCK sequence and operations which follow the sequence. Thanks
 to Andrea.
 - Support hwprobe of Zalasr.
 - Allow Zalasr extensions for Guest/VM.

v2:
 - Adjust the order of Zalasr and Zalrsc in dt-bindings. Thanks to
 Conor.
