Currently several architectures have kerneldoc comments for
arch_atomic_*(), which is unhelpful as these live in a shared namespace
where they clash, and the arch_atomic_*() ops are now an implementation
detail of the raw_atomic_*() ops, which no-one should use those
directly.

Delete the kerneldoc comments for arch_atomic_*(), along with
pseudo-kerneldoc comments which are in the correct style but are missing
the leading '/**' necessary to be true kerneldoc comments.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>locking/atomic: hexagon: add preprocessor symbols</title>

Some atomics can be implemented in several different ways, e.g.
FULL/ACQUIRE/RELEASE ordered atomics can be implemented in terms of
RELAXED atomics, and ACQUIRE/RELEASE/RELAXED can be implemented in terms
of FULL ordered atomics. Other atomics are optional, and don't exist in
some configurations (e.g. not all architectures implement the 128-bit
cmpxchg ops).

Subsequent patches will require that architectures define a preprocessor
symbol for any atomic (or ordering variant) which is optional. This will
make the fallback ifdeffery more robust, and simplify future changes.

Add the required definitions to arch/hexagon.

Most architectures define the atomic/atomic64 xchg and cmpxchg
operations in terms of arch_xchg and arch_cmpxchg respectfully.

Add fallbacks for these cases and remove the trivial cases from arch
code. On some architectures the existing definitions are kept as these
are used to build other arch_atomic*() operations.

Hexagon's implementation of arch_atomic_cmpxchg() is identical to its
implementation of arch_cmpxchg(). Have it define arch_atomic_cmpxchg()
in terms of arch_cmpxchg(), matching what it does for arch_atomic_xchg()
and arch_xchg().

At the same time, remove the kerneldoc comments for hexagon's
arch_atomic_xchg() and arch_atomic_cmpxchg(). The arch_atomic_*()
namespace is shared by all architectures and the API should be
documented centrally, and the comments aren't all that helpful as-is.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Every architecture that supports FLATMEM memory model defines its own
version of pfn_valid() that essentially compares a pfn to max_mapnr.

Use mips/powerpc version implemented as static inline as a generic

Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by stealing one bit from the
offset.  This reduces the maximum swap space per file to 16 GiB (was 32
GiB).

While at it, mask the type in __swp_entry().

<content type='text'>
Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for
kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls
copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a
valid kernel address.  So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's
remove it.

Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for
kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls
copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a
valid kernel address.  So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's
remove it.
