locking/barriers, arch/arm64: Implement LDXR+WFE based smp_cond_load_acquire()

smp_cond_load_acquire() is used to spin on a variable until some
expression involving that variable becomes true.

On arm64, we can build this using the LDXR and WFE instructions, since
clearing of the exclusive monitor as a result of the variable being
changed by another CPU generates an event, which will wake us up out of WFE.

This patch implements smp_cond_load_acquire() using LDXR and WFE, which
themselves are contained in an internal __cmpwait() function.
