According to the ARM ARMv7, explicit barriers are necessary when using
synchronisation primitives such as SWP{B}. The use of these
instructions does not automatically imply a barrier and any ordering
requirements by the software must be explicitly expressed with the use
of suitable barriers.
Based on this, remove the barriers from SWP{B} emulation.

Previous CPUs do not have the ability to trap SWP instructions, so
it's pointless initialising this code there.

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use
proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.

find_vma() is *not* safe when somebody else is removing vmas. Not just
the return value might get bogus just as you are getting it (this instance
doesn't try to dereference the resulting vma), the search itself can get
buggered in rather spectacular ways. IOW, ->mmap_sem really, really is
not optional here.

This patch fixes two separate issues with the SWP emulation handler:
1: Certain processors implementing ARMv7-A can (legally) take an
undef exception even when the condition code would have meant that
the instruction should not have been executed.
2: Opcodes with all flags set (condition code = 0xf) have been reused
in recent, and not-so-recent, versions of the ARM architecture to
implement unconditional extensions to the instruction set. The
existing code would still have processed any undefs triggered by
executing an opcode with such a value.
This patch uses the new generic ARM instruction set condition code
checks to implement proper handling of these situations.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture,
superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for
load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing
extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined
from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control
Register SW bit.
This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB
instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also
modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when
user RO.
