frv: Rewrite atomic implementation



Mostly complete rewrite of the FRV atomic implementation, instead of
using assembly files, use inline assembler.

The out-of-line CONFIG option makes a bit of a mess of things, but a
little CPP trickery gets that done too.

FRV already had the atomic logic ops but under a non standard name,
the reimplementation provides the generic names and provides the
intermediate form required for the bitops implementation.

The slightly inconsistent __atomic32_fetch_##op naming is because
__atomic_fetch_##op conlicts with GCC builtin functions.

The 64bit atomic ops use the inline assembly %Ln construct to access
the low word register (r+1), afaik this construct was not previously
used in the kernel and is completely undocumented, but I found it in
the FRV GCC code and it seems to work.

FRV had a non-standard definition of atomic_{clear,set}_mask() which
would work types other than atomic_t, the one user relying on that
(arch/frv/kernel/dma.c) got converted to use the new intermediate
form.
