On I6500 CPU cores, lld and scd give no ordering guarantees (same as all
other instructions). To respect the assumption that arch_cmpxchg() is
fully ordered, we must inject sync instructions above and below our
lld/scd loops using the already in place WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC
infrastructure.
Otherwise, bad things can happen:

My initial reproducer was the xdp-tools test suite. A standalone
reproducer would be an lld/scd loop that, when the read is reordered by
the CPU, triggers a fault. We can achieve this from userspace by
stressing an anonymous pipe, which uses a mutex. Program used:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
// pipe_race.c - reproducer for MIPS LL/SC reordering vs fs/pipe.c
//
// Two userspace processes on an anonymous pipe:
// parent = writer: tight write() loop
// child = reader: tight read() loop
#define _GNU_SOURCE
