Some architectures may have their special barriers for acquire, release
and fence semantics, general memory barriers(smp_mb__*_atomic()) in
__atomic_op_*() may be too strong, so arch_atomic_op_*() helpers are
introduced for architectures to provide their own version helpers to
build different variants based on _relaxed variants.
