Jan Beulich 819165fb34 x86: Adjust asm constraints in atomic64 wrappers
Eric pointed out overly restrictive constraints in atomic64_set(), but
there are issues throughout the file. In the cited case, %ebx and %ecx
are inputs only (don't get changed by either of the two low level
implementations). This was also the case elsewhere.

Further in many cases early-clobber indicators were missing.

Finally, the previous implementation rolled a custom alternative
instruction macro from scratch, rather than using alternative_call()
(which was introduced with the commit that the description of the
change in question actually refers to). Adjusting has the benefit of
not hiding referenced symbols from the compiler, which however requires
them to be declared not just in the exporting source file (which, as a
desirable side effect, in turn allows that exporting file to become a
real 5-line stub).

This patch does not eliminate the overly restrictive memory clobbers,
however: Doing so would occasionally make the compiler set up a second
register for accessing the memory object (to satisfy the added "m"
constraint), and it's not clear which of the two non-optimal
alternatives is better.

v2: Re-do the declaration and exporting of the internal symbols.

* The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
* LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
*
* SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
* alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
* UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
* works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
*
* The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
* UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
* SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
* useful in virtualized environments.
*
* The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
* separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
* and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
