s390/spinlock: optimize spin_unlock code
Use a memory barrier + store sequence instead of a load + compare and swap
sequence to unlock a spinlock and an rw lock.
For the spinlock case this saves us two memory reads and a not needed cpu
serialization after the compare and swap instruction stored the new value.
The kernel size (performance_defconfig) gets reduced by ~14k.
Average execution time of a tight inlined spin_unlock loop drops from
5.8ns to 0.7ns on a zEC12 machine.
An artificial stress test case where several counters are protected with
a single spinlock and which are only incremented while holding the spinlock
shows ~30% improvement on a 4 cpu machine.
