bitops: introduce lock ops

Introduce test_and_set_bit_lock / clear_bit_unlock bitops with lock semantics.
Convert all architectures to use the generic implementation.

 Basically, each usage case has to be carefully considered as to whether memory
 barriers are needed or not.
 
+The following operations are special locking primitives:
+
+        test_and_set_bit_lock();
+        clear_bit_unlock();
+        __clear_bit_unlock();
+
+These implement LOCK-class and UNLOCK-class operations. These should be used in
+preference to other operations when implementing locking primitives, because
+their implementations can be optimised on many architectures.
+
 [!] Note that special memory barrier primitives are available for these
 situations because on some CPUs the atomic instructions used imply full memory
 barriers, and so barrier instructions are superfluous in conjunction with them,
