Atomics for eBPF patch series adds support for atomic[64]_fetch_add,

it only add support for x86-64, so support these atomic operations
for arm64 as well.

Basically the implementation procedure is almost mechanical translation
of code snippets in atomic_ll_sc.h & atomic_lse.h & cmpxchg.h located
under arch/arm64/include/asm. An extra temporary register is needed
for (BPF_ADD | BPF_FETCH) to save the value of src register, instead of
adding TMP_REG_4 just use BPF_REG_AX instead.

For cpus_have_cap(ARM64_HAS_LSE_ATOMICS) case and no-LSE-ATOMICS case,
both ./test_verifier and "./test_progs -t atomic" are exercised and
passed correspondingly.

Please also make sure that lib/test_bpf.ko passes given it has the most
extensive tests around atomics.

Thanks,
Daniel
