MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).
We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.
Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.
