Architectures which don't define their own use the one in
asm-generic/bitops/lock.h.  Get rid of all the ifdefs around "maybe we

<title>bitops: add xor_unlock_is_negative_byte()</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace clear_bit_and_unlock_is_negative_byte() with
xor_unlock_is_negative_byte().  We have a few places that like to lock a
folio, set a flag and unlock it again.  Allow for the possibility of
combining the latter two operations for efficiency.  We are guaranteed
that the caller holds the lock, so it is safe to unlock it with the xor. 
The caller must guarantee that nobody else will set the flag without
holding the lock; it is not safe to do this with the PG_dirty flag, for
example.

The first test of the kcsan selftest appears to test if get_random_u32()
returns two zeros in a row, and requires that it doesn't. This seems
like a bogus criteron. Remove it.

<content type='text'>
The prandom_bytes() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_bytes() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. This was done as a basic find and replace.

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.
