MIPS: Cleanup R10000_LLSC_WAR logic in atomic.h
This patch reduces down the conditionals in MIPS atomic code that deal with a silicon bug in early R10000 cpus that required a workaround of a branch-likely instruction following a store-conditional in order to to guarantee the whole ll/sc sequence is atomic. As the only real difference is a branch-likely instruction (beqzl) over a standard branch (beqz), the conditional is reduced down to a single preprocessor check at the top to pick the required instruction. This requires writing the uses in assembler, thus we discard the non-R10000 case that uses a mixture of a C do...while loop with embedded assembler that was added back in commit 7837314 ("MIPS: Get rid of branches to .subsections."). A note found in the git log for commit 5999eca25c1f ("[MIPS] Improve branch prediction in ll/sc atomic operations.") is also addressed. The macro definition for the branch instruction and the code comment derives from a patch sent in earlier by Paul Burton for various cmpxchg cleanups.
