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 tools/memory-model/README. ============ 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.
