[patch V3 05/14] uaccess: Provide unsafe_atomic_store_release_user()

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>]

The upcoming support for unlocking robust futexes in the kernel requires
store release semantics. Syscalls do not imply memory ordering on all
architectures so the unlock operation requires a barrier.

This barrier can be avoided when stores imply release like on x86.

Provide a generic version with a smp_mb() before the unsafe_put_user(),
which can be overridden by architectures.

Provide also a ARCH_MEMORY_ORDER_TOS Kconfig option, which can be selected
by architectures with Total Store Order (TSO), where store implies release,
so that the smp_mb() in the generic implementation can be avoided.
