[RFC 3/3] tools/memory-model: Add litmus test for RMW + smp_mb__after_atomic()

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Thu Feb 13 2020 - 23:01:55 EST


We already use a litmus test in atomic_t.txt to describe atomic RMW +
smp_mb__after_atomic() is "strong acquire" (both the read and the write
part is ordered). So make it a litmus test in memory-model litmus-tests
directory, so that people can access the litmus easily.

Additionally, change the processor numbers "P1, P2" to "P0, P1" in
atomic_t.txt for the consistency with the processor numbers in the
litmus test, which herd can handle.
