Boqun Feng e30d023555 Documentation/litmus-tests/atomic: Add a test for smp_mb__after_atomic()
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.

This directory contains litmus tests that are typical to describe the semantics
of our atomic APIs. For more information about how to "run" a litmus test or
how to generate a kernel test module based on a litmus test, please see

LITMUS TESTS
============

Atomic-RMW+mb__after_atomic-is-stronger-than-acquire
	Test that an atomic RMW followed by a smp_mb__after_atomic() is
	stronger than a normal acquire: both the read and write parts of
	the RMW are ordered before the subsequential memory accesses.

Atomic-RMW-ops-are-atomic-WRT-atomic_set.litmus
	Test that atomic_set() cannot break the atomicity of atomic RMWs.
