rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic operation helpers over raw pointers

Browse source

In order to synchronize with C or external memory, atomic operations
over raw pointers are need. Although there is already an
`Atomic::from_ptr()` to provide a `&Atomic<T>`, it's more convenient to
have helpers that directly perform atomic operations on raw pointers.
Hence a few are added, which are basically an `Atomic::from_ptr().op()`
wrapper.

Note: for naming, since `atomic_xchg()` and `atomic_cmpxchg()` have a
conflict naming to 32bit C atomic xchg/cmpxchg, hence the helpers are
just named as `xchg()` and `cmpxchg()`. For `atomic_load()` and
`atomic_store()`, their 32bit C counterparts are `atomic_read()` and
`atomic_set()`, so keep the `atomic_` prefix.
