[PATCH v6 0/4] x86, kasan: add KASAN checks to atomic operations

KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses.
But it does not see memory accesses done in assembly code.
One notable user of assembly code is atomic operations. Frequently,
for example, an atomic reference decrement is the last access to an
object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.

Atomic operations are defined in arch files, but KASAN instrumentation
is required for several archs that support KASAN. Later we will need
similar hooks for KMSAN (uninit use detector) and KTSAN (data race
detector).

This change introduces wrappers around atomic operations that can be
used to add KASAN/KMSAN/KTSAN instrumentation across several archs,
and adds KASAN checks to them.

This patch uses the wrappers only for x86 arch. Arm64 will be switched
later. And we also plan to instrument bitops in a similar way.

Within a day it has found its first bug:

Changes since v1:
- dropped "x86: remove unused atomic_inc_short()" patch
it is mailed separately
- rebased on top of tip/locking/core head
- other changes noted within individual patches

Changes since v2:
- rebased on top of tip/locking/core head
- dropped a pervasive "x86: use long long for 64-bit atomic ops" commit,
instead use s64 type in wrappers
- added "x86: use s64* for old arg of atomic64_try_cmpxchg()" commit

Changes since v3 are noted in individual commits.

Changes since v4:
- rebased on tip/locking/core HEAD

Changes since v5:
- rework cmpxchg* implementations so that we have less
code in macros and more code in functions

Tested:
- build/boot x86_64 defconfig
- build/boot x86_64 defconfig+KASAN
- build i686/powerpc defconfig
