ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants



The current ARC fetch/return atomics provide fully ordered semantics
only with 2 full barriers around the operation.

Instead implement them as relaxed variants without any barriers and
rely on generic code to generate the fully-ordered, acquire and release
varaints by adding the appropriate full barriers.

This helps elide some extra barriers in case of acquire/release/relaxed
calls.

bloat-o-meter for hsdk defconfig shows codegen improvements, although
numbers below inflated due to unrelated inlining heuristic changes
