Subject[GIT RFC PULL rcu/urgent] Fix noinstr warnings for KCSAN
Hello!

This pull request contains a single commit that uses "arch_" atomic
operations to avoid the instrumentation that comes with the non-"arch_"
versions. In preparation for that commit, it also has another commit
that makes these "arch_" atomic operations available to generic code.

Without these commits, KCSAN uses can see pointless errors.

This pull request is currently RFC pending ongoing -next testing.
This was not entirely free of drama, with Stephen needing to handle
a merge conflict:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200626131425.73ee4e27@canb.auug.org.au/

However, the resolution looks straightforward to me. In addition,
these two commits pass rcutorture testing and associated KCSAN testing.

The following changes since commit b3a9e3b9622ae10064826dccb4f7a52bd88c7407:
