David Daney b791d1193a MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations.  But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).

We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.

Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

Ralf Baechle 43e6ae6d9f MIPS: Rewrite clearing of ll_bit on context switch in C
This also means there is now only one implementation not 3 left.

Ralf Baechle f1e39a4a61 MIPS: Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler
This way it doesn't have to use CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LLSC anymore.

David Daney 2c708cbaa6 MIPS: Scheduler support for HARDWARE_WATCHPOINTS.
Here we hook up the scheduler.  Whenever we switch to a new process,
we check to see if the watch registers should be installed, and do it
if needed.
