arm64: percpu: rewrite ll/sc loops in assembly

Writing the outer loop of an LL/SC sequence using do {...} while
constructs potentially allows the compiler to hoist memory accesses
between the STXR and the branch back to the LDXR. On CPUs that do not
guarantee forward progress of LL/SC loops when faced with memory
accesses to the same ERG (up to 2k) between the failed STXR and the
branch back, we may end up livelocking.

This patch avoids this issue in our percpu atomics by rewriting the
outer loop as part of the LL/SC inline assembly block.
