[PATCH 2/2] riscv: qspinlock: errata: Add ERRATA_THEAD_WRITE_ONCE fixup

[guoren@kernel.org]

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

The early version of T-Head C9xx cores has a store merge buffer
delay problem. The store merge buffer could improve the store queue
performance by merging multi-store requests, but when there are not
continued store requests, the prior single store request would be
waiting in the store queue for a long time. That would cause
significant problems for communication between multi-cores. This
problem was found on sg2042 & th1520 platforms with the qspinlock
lock torture test.

So appending a fence w.o could immediately flush the store merge
buffer and let other cores see the write result.

This will apply the WRITE_ONCE errata to handle the non-standard
behavior via appending a fence w.o instruction for WRITE_ONCE().

This problem is only observed on the sg2042 hardware platform by
running the lock_torture test program for half an hour. The problem
was not found in the user space application, because interrupt can
break the livelock.
