arch/tile: Various cleanups.
This change rolls up random cleanups not representing any actual bugs.
- Remove a stale CONFIG_ value from the default tile_defconfig
- Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from <asm/atomic.h>
- Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction
- Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway)
- Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it
- Export some additional hypervisor driver I/O upcalls and some homecache calls
- Remove the obfuscating MEMCPY_TEST_WH64 support code
- Other stray comment cleanups, #if 0 removal, etc.
