There are several places in the kernel where wait_on_bit is not followed
by a memory barrier (for example, in drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:new_read).
On architectures with weak memory ordering, it may happen that memory
accesses that follow wait_on_bit are reordered before wait_on_bit and
they may return invalid data.
Fix this class of bugs by introducing a new function "test_bit_acquire"
that works like test_bit, but has acquire memory ordering semantics.

In preparation for altering the non-atomic bitops with a macro, wrap
them in a transparent definition. This requires prepending one more
'_' to their names in order to be able to do that seamlessly. It is
a simple change, given that all the non-prefixed definitions are now
in asm-generic.
sparc32 already has several triple-underscored functions, so I had
to rename them ('___' -> 'sp32_').

Currently, there is a mess with the prototypes of the non-atomic
bitops across the different architectures:
ret bool, int, unsigned long
nr int, long, unsigned int, unsigned long
addr volatile unsigned long *, volatile void *
Thankfully, it doesn't provoke any bugs, but can sometimes make
the compiler angry when it's not handy at all.
Adjust all the prototypes to the following standard:
ret bool retval can be only 0 or 1
nr unsigned long native; signed makes no sense
addr volatile unsigned long * bitmaps are arrays of ulongs
Next, some architectures don't define 'arch_' versions as they don't
support instrumentation, others do. To make sure there is always the
same set of callables present and to ease any potential future
changes, make them all follow the rule:
* architecture-specific files define only 'arch_' versions;
* non-prefixed versions can be defined only in asm-generic files;
and place the non-prefixed definitions into a new file in
asm-generic to be included by non-instrumented architectures.
Finally, add some static assertions in order to prevent people from
making a mess in this room again.
I also used the %__always_inline attribute consistently, so that
they always get resolved to the actual operations.
