RISC-V: Atomic and Locking Code

I had some open comments on this patch:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171024141032.GD13445@xxxxxxx

Amongst other things, you're adding a spin_unlock_wait and I think your
test bitops are missing barriers.

I'm not suggesting this holds up the merge, but a reply would've been
nice :/

Sorry about that, it must have gotten buried in my inbox somewhere. We have a patch already to remove spin_unlock_wait, it's just not in this because it didn't get any comments.

I'll look through the rest of your comments.
