arm64: xchg: Implement cmpxchg_double

The arm64 architecture has the ability to exclusively load and store
a pair of registers from an address (ldxp/stxp). Also the SLUB can take
advantage of a cmpxchg_double implementation to avoid taking some
locks.

This patch provides an implementation of cmpxchg_double for 64-bit
pairs, and activates the logic required for the SLUB to use these
functions (HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE and HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE).

Also definitions of this_cpu_cmpxchg_8 and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double_8
are wired up to cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg_double_local (rather than the
stock implementations that perform non-atomic operations with
interrupts disabled) as they are used by the SLUB.

On a Juno platform running on only the A57s I get quite a noticeable
performance improvement with 5 runs of hackbench on v3.17:

         Baseline | With Patch
 -----------------+-----------
 Mean    119.2312 | 106.1782
 StdDev    0.4919 |   0.4494

(times taken to complete `./hackbench 100 process 1000', in seconds)
