powerpc/bpf: enforce full ordering for ATOMIC operations with BPF_FETCH

The Linux Kernel Memory Model [1][2] requires RMW operations that have a
return value to be fully ordered.

BPF atomic operations with BPF_FETCH (including BPF_XCHG and
BPF_CMPXCHG) return a value back so they need to be JITed to fully
ordered operations. POWERPC currently emits relaxed operations for
these.

We can show this by running the following litmus-test:

  PPC SB+atomic_add+fetch

  {
      0:r0=x;  (* dst reg assuming offset is 0 *)
      0:r1=2;  (* src reg *)
      0:r2=1;
      0:r4=y;  (* P0 writes to this, P1 reads this *)
      0:r5=z;  (* P1 writes to this, P0 reads this *)
      0:r6=0;

      1:r2=1;
      1:r4=y;
      1:r5=z;
  }

  P0                      | P1            ;
  stw         r2, 0(r4)   | stw  r2,0(r5) ;
                          |               ;
  loop:lwarx  r3, r6, r0  |               ;
  mr          r8, r3      |               ;
  add         r3, r3, r1  | sync          ;
  stwcx.      r3, r6, r0  |               ;
  bne         loop        |               ;
  mr          r1, r8      |               ;
                          |               ;
  lwa         r7, 0(r5)   | lwa  r7,0(r4) ;

  ~exists(0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)

  Witnesses
  Positive: 9 Negative: 3
  Condition ~exists (0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)
  Observation SB+atomic_add+fetch Sometimes 3 9

This test shows that the older store in P0 is reordered with a newer
load to a different address. Although there is a RMW operation with
fetch between them. Adding a sync before and after RMW fixes the issue:

  Witnesses
  Positive: 9 Negative: 0
  Condition ~exists (0:r7=0 /\ 1:r7=0)
  Observation SB+atomic_add+fetch Never 0 9
