bpf: Add instructions for atomic_[cmp]xchg

This adds two atomic opcodes, both of which include the BPF_FETCH
flag. XCHG without the BPF_FETCH flag would naturally encode
atomic_set. This is not supported because it would be of limited
value to userspace (it doesn't imply any barriers). CMPXCHG without
BPF_FETCH woulud be an atomic compare-and-write. We don't have such
an operation in the kernel so it isn't provided to BPF either.

There are two significant design decisions made for the CMPXCHG
instruction:

 - To solve the issue that this operation fundamentally has 3
   operands, but we only have two register fields. Therefore the
   operand we compare against (the kernel's API calls it 'old') is
   hard-coded to be R0. x86 has similar design (and A64 doesn't
   have this problem).

   A potential alternative might be to encode the other operand's
   register number in the immediate field.

 - The kernel's atomic_cmpxchg returns the old value, while the C11
   userspace APIs return a boolean indicating the comparison
   result. Which should BPF do? A64 returns the old value. x86 returns
   the old value in the hard-coded register (and also sets a
   flag). That means return-old-value is easier to JIT, so that's
   what we use.
