__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() can't tell us which code uses {cmp}xchg
with an unsupported size, and no error is reported until the link stage.
To make such problems easier to debug, use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() instead.

fixup
Implement cmpxchg{,64}_relaxed and atomic{,64}_cmpxchg_relaxed, based on
which _release variants can be built.
To avoid superfluous barriers in _acquire variants, we implement these
operations with assembly code rather use __atomic_op_acquire() to build
them automatically.
For the same reason, we keep the assembly implementation of fully
ordered cmpxchg operations.
However, we don't do the similar for _release, because that will require
putting barriers in the middle of ll/sc loops, which is probably a bad
idea.
Note cmpxchg{,64}_relaxed and atomic{,64}_cmpxchg_relaxed are not
compiler barriers.

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_
versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just
RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered.
So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in
__{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics
of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit
b97021f855 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")
This patch depends on patch "powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully
ordered" for PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER definition.

This commit adds the architecture support required to enable the
optimised implementation of lockrefs.
That's as simple as defining arch_spin_value_unlocked() and selecting
the Kconfig option.
We also define cmpxchg64_relaxed(), because the lockref code does not
need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics.
Using Linus' test case[1] on one system I see a 4x improvement for the
basic enablement, and a further 1.3x for cmpxchg64_relaxed(), for a
total of 5.3x vs the baseline.
On another system I see more like 2x improvement.
