The four litmus tests in Documentation/litmus-tests/atomic do not
declare all of their local variables. Although this is just fine for LKMM
analysis by herd7, it causes build failures when run in-kernel by klitmus.
This commit therefore adjusts these tests to declare all local variables.

This commit adds four litmus tests showing that a failing cmpxchg()
operation is unordered unless followed by an smp_mb__after_atomic()

Most Linux-kernel uses of locking are straightforward, but there are
corner-case uses that rely on less well-known aspects of the lock and
unlock primitives. This commit therefore adds a locking.txt and litmus
tests in Documentation/litmus-tests/locking to explain these corner-case
uses.

herdtools 7.56 has enhanced herd7's C parser so that the "(void)expr"
construct in Atomic-RMW-ops-are-atomic-WRT-atomic_set.litmus is
accepted.
This is independent of LKMM's cat model, so mention the required
version in the header of the litmus test and its entry in README.

We already use a litmus test in atomic_t.txt to describe atomic RMW +
smp_mb__after_atomic() is stronger than acquire (both the read and the
write parts are ordered). So make it a litmus test in atomic-tests
directory, so that people can access the litmus easily.
Additionally, change the processor numbers "P1, P2" to "P0, P1" in
atomic_t.txt for the consistency with the processor numbers in the
litmus test, which herd can handle.

We already use a litmus test in atomic_t.txt to describe the behavior of
an atomic_set() with the an atomic RMW, so add it into atomic-tests
directory to make it easily accessible for anyone who cares about the
semantics of our atomic APIs.
Besides currently the litmus test "atomic-set" in atomic_t.txt has a few
things to be improved:
1) The CPU/Processor numbers "P1,P2" are not only inconsistent with
the rest of the document, which uses "CPU0" and "CPU1", but also
unacceptable by the herd tool, which requires processors start
at "P0".
2) The initialization block uses a "atomic_set()", which is OK, but
it's better to use ATOMIC_INIT() to make clear this is an
initialization.
3) The return value of atomic_add_unless() is discarded
inexplicitly, which is OK for C language, but it will be helpful
to the herd tool if we use a void cast to make the discard
explicit.
4) The name and the paragraph describing the test need to be more
accurate and aligned with our wording in LKMM.
Therefore fix these in both atomic_t.txt and the new added litmus test.

Although we have atomic_t.txt and its friends to describe the semantics
of atomic APIs and lib/atomic64_test.c for build testing and testing in
UP mode, the tests for our atomic APIs in real SMP mode are still
missing. Since now we have the LKMM tool in kernel and litmus tests can
be used to generate kernel modules for testing purpose with "klitmus" (a
tool from the LKMM toolset), it makes sense to put a few typical litmus
tests into kernel so that
1) they are the examples to describe the conceptual mode of the
semantics of atomic APIs, and
2) they can be used to generate kernel test modules for anyone
who is interested to test the atomic APIs implementation (in
most cases, is the one who implements the APIs for a new arch)
Therefore, introduce the atomic directory for this purpose. The
directory is maintained by the LKMM group to make sure the litmus tests
are always aligned with our memory model.
