MIPS: Cleanup R10000_LLSC_WAR logic in atomic.h
This patch reduces down the conditionals in MIPS atomic code that deal
with a silicon bug in early R10000 cpus that required a workaround of
a branch-likely instruction following a store-conditional in order to
to guarantee the whole ll/sc sequence is atomic.  As the only real
difference is a branch-likely instruction (beqzl) over a standard
branch (beqz), the conditional is reduced down to a single preprocessor
check at the top to pick the required instruction.

This requires writing the uses in assembler, thus we discard the
non-R10000 case that uses a mixture of a C do...while loop with
embedded assembler that was added back in commit 7837314d14 ("MIPS:
Get rid of branches to .subsections.").  A note found in the git log
for commit 5999eca25c1f ("[MIPS] Improve branch prediction in ll/sc
atomic operations.") is also addressed.

The macro definition for the branch instruction and the code comment
derives from a patch sent in earlier by Paul Burton for various cmpxchg
cleanups.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
