[PATCH] riscv: enable HAVE_CMPXCHG_{DOUBLE,LOCAL}

Support for atomic Compare-And-Swap instructions has been in the RISC-V
port of the Linux kernel for a long time. That being said, we apparently
never bothered to set HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL in the
Kconfig, despite having all the framework to support them.

I have built this patch with multiple configurations and ran it with KVM
(the VisionFive2 board that I have lacks the needed extensions). All seems
to work, but I do wonder if we did not enable these for a reason or this
just slipped through. So far in the code I believe everything is in place,
and I haven't seen any commit in the git log stating otherwise.
