[RFC PATCH v1 0/2] Deduplicating RISCV cmpxchg.h macros

[Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com>]

While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in
understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of
{cmp,}xchg.

When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the
duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly
changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers.

Thanks!
