LoongArch: Add subword xchg/cmpxchg emulation

Browse source

LoongArch only support 32-bit/64-bit xchg/cmpxchg in native. But percpu
operation, qspinlock and some drivers need 8-bit/16-bit xchg/cmpxchg. We
add subword xchg/cmpxchg emulation in this patch because the emulation
has better performance than the generic implementation (on NUMA system),
and it can fix some build errors meanwhile [1].

LoongArch's guarantee for forward progress (avoid many ll/sc happening
at the same time and no one succeeds):

We have the "exclusive access (with timeout) of ll" feature to avoid
simultaneous ll (which also blocks other memory load/store on the same
address), and the "random delay of sc" feature to avoid simultaneous
sc. It is a mandatory requirement for multi-core LoongArch processors
to implement such features, only except those single-core and dual-core
processors (they also don't support multi-chip interconnection).

Feature bits are introduced in CPUCFG3, bit 3 and bit 4 [2].
