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
don't have it".

<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 console tracepoint is used by kcsan/kasan/kfence/kmsan test modules. 
Since this tracepoint is not exported, these modules iterate over all
available tracepoints to find the console trace point.  Export the trace
point so that it can be directly used.

<title>kcsan: test: don't put the expect array on the stack</title>

<content type='text'>
Size of the 'expect' array in the __report_matches is 1536 bytes, which
is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa
architecture.
As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not
support the compiler plugins (which otherwise would push the said
warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

  kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:257:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes
    is larger than 1536 bytes

Fix it by dynamically allocating the 'expect' array.

Use the newly added suite_{init,exit} support for suite-wide init and
cleanup. This avoids the unsupported method by which the test used to do
suite-wide init and cleanup (avoiding issues such as missing TAP
headers, and possible future conflicts).

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.

Adds test cases to check that memory barriers are instrumented
correctly, and detection of missing memory barriers is working as
intended if CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y.
