bpf: Add bitwise atomic instructions
This adds instructions for atomic[64]_[fetch_]and atomic[64]_[fetch_]or atomic[64]_[fetch_]xor All these operations are isomorphic enough to implement with the same verifier, interpreter, and x86 JIT code, hence being a single commit. The main interesting thing here is that x86 doesn't directly support the fetch_ version these operations, so we need to generate a CMPXCHG loop in the JIT. This requires the use of two temporary registers, IIUC it's safe to use BPF_REG_AX and x86's AUX_REG for this purpose.
