riscv: cmpxchg: implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release}

After selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, one straight futher
optimization is implementing the arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() because the
lockref code does not need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics. At
the same time, implement arch_cmpxchg64_acquire and
arch_cmpxchg64_release as well.

However, on both TH1520 and JH7110 platforms, I didn't see obvious
performance improvement with Linus' test case [1]. IMHO, this may
be related with the fence and lr.d/sc.d hw implementations. In theory,
lr/sc without fence could give performance improvement over lr/sc plus
fence, so add the code here to leave performance improvement room on
newer HW platforms.
