Catalin Marinas 420c158dcf arm64: Treat the bitops index argument as an 'int'
The bitops prototype use an 'int' as the bit index type but the asm
implementation assume it to be a 'long'. Since the compiler does not
guarantee zeroing the upper 32-bits in a register when used as 'int',
change the bitops implementation accordingly.

Catalin Marinas 16c85a1fd7 arm64: Use acquire/release semantics instead of explicit DMB
This patch changes the test_and_*_bit functions to use the
load-acquire/store-release instructions instead of explicit DMB.

Mark Rutland c47d6a04e6 arm64: klib: bitops: fix unpredictable stxr usage
We're currently relying on unpredictable behaviour in our testops
(test_and_*_bit), as stxr is unpredictable when the status register and
the source register are the same

This patch changes reallocates the status register so as to bring us back into
the realm of predictable behaviour. Boot tested on an AEMv8 model.

Catalin Marinas 6247958653 arm64: klib: Optimised atomic bitops
This patch implements the AArch64-specific atomic bitops functions using
exclusive memory accesses to avoid locking.
