rust: sync: atomic: Add Atomic<{usize,isize}>

Add generic atomic support for `usize` and `isize`. Note that instead of
mapping directly to `atomic_long_t`, the represention type
(`AtomicType::Repr`) is selected based on CONFIG_64BIT. This reduces
the necessity of creating `atomic_long_*` helpers, which could save
the binary size of kernel if inline helpers are not available. To do so,
an internal type `isize_atomic_repr` is defined, it's `i32` in 32bit
kernel and `i64` in 64bit kernel.

rust: sync: atomic: Add the framework of arithmetic operations

One important set of atomic operations is the arithmetic operations,
i.e. add(), sub(), fetch_add(), add_return(), etc. However it may not
make senses for all the types that `AtomicType` to have arithmetic
operations, for example a `Foo(u32)` may not have a reasonable add() or
sub(), plus subword types (`u8` and `u16`) currently don't have
atomic arithmetic operations even on C side and might not have them in
the future in Rust (because they are usually suboptimal on a few
architecures). Therefore the plan is to add a few subtraits of
`AtomicType` describing which types have and can do atomic arithemtic
operations.

One trait `AtomicAdd` is added, and only add() and fetch_add() are
added. The rest will be added in the future.

rust: sync: atomic: Add generic atomics

To provide using LKMM atomics for Rust code, a generic `Atomic<T>` is
added, currently `T` needs to be Send + Copy because these are the
straightforward usages and all basic types support this.

Implement `AtomicType` for `i32` and `i64`, and so far only basic
operations load() and store() are introduced.

rust: sync: atomic: Add ordering annotation types

Preparation for atomic primitives. Instead of a suffix like _acquire, a
method parameter along with the corresponding generic parameter will be
used to specify the ordering of an atomic operations. For example,
atomic load() can be defined as:

impl<T: ...> Atomic<T> {
pub fn load<O: AcquireOrRelaxed>(&self, _o: O) -> T { ... }
}

and acquire users would do:

let r = x.load(Acquire);

relaxed users:

let r = x.load(Relaxed);

doing the following:

let r = x.load(Release);

will cause a compiler error.

Compared to suffixes, it's easier to tell what ordering variants an
operation has, and it also make it easier to unify the implementation of
all ordering variants in one method via generic. The `TYPE` associate
const is for generic function to pick up the particular implementation
specified by an ordering annotation.

rust: sync: Add basic atomic operation mapping framework

Preparation for generic atomic implementation. To unify the
implementation of a generic method over `i32` and `i64`, the C side
atomic methods need to be grouped so that in a generic method, they can
be referred as <type>::<method>, otherwise their parameters and return
value are different between `i32` and `i64`, which would require using
`transmute()` to unify the type into a `T`.

Introduce `AtomicImpl` to represent a basic type in Rust that has the
direct mapping to an atomic implementation from C. Use a sealed trait to
restrict `AtomicImpl` to only support `i32` and `i64` for now.

Further, different methods are put into different `*Ops` trait groups,
and this is for the future when smaller types like `i8`/`i16` are
supported but only with a limited set of API (e.g. only set(), load(),
xchg() and cmpxchg(), no add() or sub() etc).

While the atomic mod is introduced, documentation is also added for
memory models and data races.

Also bump my role to the maintainer of ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE to reflect
my responsibility on the Rust atomic mod.
