Paul E. McKenney a88d970c8b lib: Add one-byte emulation function
Architectures are required to provide four-byte cmpxchg() and 64-bit
architectures are additionally required to provide eight-byte cmpxchg().
However, there are cases where one-byte cmpxchg() would be extremely
useful.  Therefore, provide cmpxchg_emu_u8() that emulates one-byte
cmpxchg() in terms of four-byte cmpxchg().

Note that this emulations is fully ordered, and can (for example) cause
one-byte cmpxchg_relaxed() to incur the overhead of full ordering.
If this causes problems for a given architecture, that architecture is
free to provide its own lighter-weight primitives.
