arm64: xchg: 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 xchg primitives so that the LSE swp instruction (yes, you read right!) is used instead.
