[PATCH v3 4/9] RISC-V: Use STORE instead of AMOSWAP for atomic stores [PR 100265]

[Christoph Muellner <cmuellner@gcc.gnu.org>]

Using AMOSWAP as atomic store does not allow us to do sub-word accesses.
Further, it is not consistent with our atomic_load () implementation.
The benefit of AMOSWAP is that the resulting code sequence will be
smaller (comapred to FENCE+STORE), however, this does not weight
out for the lack of sub-word accesses.
Additionally, HW implementors have claimed that an optimal
implementation AMOSWAP is slightly more expensive than FENCE+STORE.
So let's use STORE instead of AMOSWAP.
