arm64: atomics: implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics
Commit 654672d4ba1a ("locking/atomics: Add _{acquire|release|relaxed}() variants of some atomic operation") introduced a relaxed atomic API to Linux that maps nicely onto the arm64 memory model, including the new ARMv8.1 atomic instructions. This patch hooks up the API to our relaxed atomic instructions, rather than have them all expand to the full-barrier variants as they do currently.
