csky: atomic: Optimize cmpxchg with acquire & release

Optimize cmpxchg with ASM acquire/release fence ASM instructions
instead of previous generic based. Prevent a fence when cmxchg's
first load != old.

full barrier semantics")

Comments by Boqun:

FWIW, you probably need to make sure that a barrier instruction inside
an lr/sc loop is a good thing. IIUC, the execution time of a barrier
instruction is determined by the status of store buffers and invalidate
queues (and probably other stuffs), so it may increase the execution
time of the lr/sc loop, and make it unlikely to succeed. But this really
depends on how the arch executes these instructions.
