s390/bitops: make use of interlocked-access facility 1 instructions
Make use of the interlocked-access facility 1 that got added with the
z196 architecure.
This facilility added new instructions which can atomically update a
storage location without a compare-and-swap loop. E.g. setting a bit
within a "long" can be done with a single instruction.
The size of the kernel image gets ~30kb smaller. Considering that there
are appr. 1900 bitops call sites this means that each one saves about
15-16 bytes per call site which is expected.
