RISC-V: Add futex support.
Here is an attempt to add the missing futex support.  I started with the MIPS
version of futex.h and modified it until I got it working.  I tested it on
a HiFive Unleashed running Fedora Core 29 using the fc29 4.15 version of the
kernel.  This was tested against the glibc testsuite, where it fixes 14 nptl
related testsuite failures.  That unfortunately only tests the cmpxchg support,
so I also used the testcase at the end of

    https://lwn.net/Articles/148830/

which tests the atomic_op functionality, except that it doesn't verify that
the operations are atomic, which they obviously are.  This testcase runs
successfully with the patch and fails without it.

I'm not a kernel expert, so there could be details I got wrong here.  I wasn't
sure about the memory model support, so I used aqrl which seemed safest, and
didn't add fences which seemed unnecessary.  I'm not sure about the copyright
statements, I left in Ralf Baechle's line because I started with his code.
Checkpatch reports some style problems, but it is the same style as the MIPS
futex.h, and the uses of ENOSYS appear correct even though it complains about
them.  I don't know if any of that matters.

This patch was tested on qemu with the glibc nptl/tst-cond-except
testcase, and the wake_op testcase from above.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
