Swift cores implement store barriers that are stronger than the ARM
specification but weaker than general barriers. They are, in fact, just about
enough to provide the ordering needed for atomic operations with release
semantics.
This patch makes use of that quirk.

Turns out I'd misread the architecture reference manual and thought
that was a load/store-store barrier, when it's not.
Thanks for pointing it out Eli!

I believe the full "dmb ish" barrier is not required to guarantee release
semantics for atomic operations. The weaker "dmb ishst" prevents previous
operations being reordered with a store executed afterwards, which is enough.
A key point to note (fortunately already correct) is that this barrier alone is
*insufficient* for sequential consistency, no matter how liberally placed.

The ARM and Thumb variants of LDREXD and STREXD have different constraints and
take different operands. Previously the code expanding atomic operations didn't
take this into account and asserted in Thumb mode.

This patch replaces the hard coded GPR pair [R0, R1] of
Intrinsic:arm_ldrexd and [R2, R3] of Intrinsic:arm_strexd with
even/odd GPRPair reg class.
Similar to the lowering of atomic_64 operation.
