Some architectures do not define clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte().
Only test it when it is actually defined (similar to other usage, such
as in lib/test_kasan.c).

<title>kcsan: Make barrier tests compatible with lockdep</title>

<content type='text'>
The barrier tests in selftest and the kcsan_test module only need the
spinlock and mutex to test correct barrier instrumentation. Therefore,
these were initially placed on the stack.

However, lockdep asserts that locks are in static storage, and will
generate this warning:

 | INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 | The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
 | you didn't initialize this object before use?
 | turning off the locking correctness validator.
 | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc1+ #3208
 | Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014
 | Call Trace:
 |  &lt;TASK&gt;
 |  dump_stack_lvl+0x88/0xd8
 |  dump_stack+0x15/0x1b
 |  register_lock_class+0x6b3/0x840
 |  ...
 |  test_barrier+0x490/0x14c7
 |  kcsan_selftest+0x47/0xa0
 |  ...

To fix, move the test locks into static storage.

Fixing the above also revealed that lock operations are strengthened on
first use with lockdep enabled, due to lockdep calling out into
non-instrumented files (recall that kernel/locking/lockdep.c is not
instrumented with KCSAN).

Only kcsan_test checks for over-instrumentation of *_lock() operations,
where we can simply "warm up" the test locks to avoid the test case
failing with lockdep.

Memory barrier instrumentation is crucial to avoid false positives. To
avoid surprises, run a simple test case in the boot-time selftest to
ensure memory barriers are still instrumented correctly.

Rename 'test.c' to 'selftest.c' to better reflect its purpose (Kconfig
variable and code inside already match this). This is to avoid confusion
with the test suite module in 'kcsan-test.c'.

No functional change.
