Should we step further to privatize asm/cmpxchg.h entirely? Keep it only
included in arch/*?
Because after your next patch, in some configurations, asm/cmpxchg.h of
ARM only provides the definition of {cmpxchg,xchg}_relaxed, others are
built in linux/atomic.h. Further more, other architecture may implement
asm/cmpxchg.h similarly in the future. So, IIUC, we actually don't
guarantee all cmpxchg(), xchg() and their variants are defined in
asm/cmpxchg.h.
Though current users of asm/cmpxchg.h outside arch/* are fine,
because they all happen to have got linux/atomic.h included. But we'd
better change the current users and call out that asm/cmpxchg.h is
privatized in the document.

Consider this patch maybe? I did a simple build test on X86.

Subject: [PATCH] atomics,cmpxchg: Privatize the inclusion of asm/cmpxchg.h
After commit:
atomics: add acquire/release/relaxed variants of some atomic operations
Architectures may only provide {cmp,}xchg_relaxed definitions in
asm/cmpxchg.h. Other variants, such as {cmp,}xchg, may be built in
linux/atomic.h, which means simply including asm/cmpxchg.h may not get
the definitions of all the{cmp,}xchg variants. Therefore, we should
privatize the inclusions of asm/cmpxchg.h to keep it only included in
arch/* and replace the inclusions outside with linux/atomic.h

Spinlocks and rwlocks have memory barrier expectations as well.
