[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.
