riscv: qspinlock: Introduce combo spinlock



Combo spinlock could support queued and ticket in one Linux Image and
select them during boot time via errata mechanism. Here is the func
size (Bytes) comparison table below:

TYPE			: COMBO | TICKET | QUEUED
arch_spin_lock		: 106	| 60     | 50
arch_spin_unlock	: 54    | 36     | 26
arch_spin_trylock	: 110   | 72     | 54
arch_spin_is_locked	: 48    | 34     | 20
arch_spin_is_contended	: 56    | 40     | 24
rch_spin_value_unlocked	: 48    | 34     | 24

One example of disassemble combo arch_spin_unlock:
   0xffffffff8000409c <+14>:    nop                # detour slot
   0xffffffff800040a0 <+18>:    fence   rw,w       # queued spinlock start
   0xffffffff800040a4 <+22>:    sb      zero,0(a4) # queued spinlock end
   0xffffffff800040a8 <+26>:    ld      s0,8(sp)
   0xffffffff800040aa <+28>:    addi    sp,sp,16
   0xffffffff800040ac <+30>:    ret
   0xffffffff800040ae <+32>:    lw      a5,0(a4)   # ticket spinlock start
   0xffffffff800040b0 <+34>:    sext.w  a5,a5
   0xffffffff800040b2 <+36>:    fence   rw,w
   0xffffffff800040b6 <+40>:    addiw   a5,a5,1
   0xffffffff800040b8 <+42>:    slli    a5,a5,0x30
   0xffffffff800040ba <+44>:    srli    a5,a5,0x30
   0xffffffff800040bc <+46>:    sh      a5,0(a4)   # ticket spinlock end
   0xffffffff800040c0 <+50>:    ld      s0,8(sp)
   0xffffffff800040c2 <+52>:    addi    sp,sp,16
   0xffffffff800040c4 <+54>:    ret

The qspinlock is smaller and faster than ticket-lock when all are in
fast-path, and combo spinlock could provide a compatible Linux Image
for different micro-arch design (weak/strict fwd guarantee LR/SC)
processors.
