arm64: cmpxchg: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU
On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1, it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences. This patch introduces runtime patching of our cmpxchg primitives so that the LSE cas instruction is used instead.
