92b90f780d bpf: Use architecture provided res_smp_cond_load_acquire
In v2 of rqspinlock [0], we fixed potential problems with WFE usage in
arm64 to fallback to a version copied from Ankur's series [1]. This
logic was moved into arch-specific headers in v3 [2].

However, we missed using the arch-provided res_smp_cond_load_acquire
in commit ebababcd03 ("rqspinlock: Hardcode cond_acquire loops for arm64")
due to a rebasing mistake between v2 and v3 of the rqspinlock series.
Fix the typo to fallback to the arm64 definition as we did in v2.

ebababcd03 rqspinlock: Hardcode cond_acquire loops for arm64
Currently, for rqspinlock usage, the implementation of
smp_cond_load_acquire (and thus, atomic_cond_read_acquire) are
susceptible to stalls on arm64, because they do not guarantee that the
conditional expression will be repeatedly invoked if the address being
loaded from is not written to by other CPUs. When support for
event-streams is absent (which unblocks stuck WFE-based loops every
~100us), we may end up being stuck forever.

This causes a problem for us, as we need to repeatedly invoke the
RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT in the spin loop to break out when the timeout
expires.

Let us import the smp_cond_load_acquire_timewait implementation Ankur is
proposing in [0], and then fallback to it once it is merged.

While we rely on the implementation to amortize the cost of sampling
check_timeout for us, it will not happen when event stream support is
unavailable. This is not the common case, and it would be difficult to
fit our logic in the time_expr_ns >= time_limit_ns comparison, hence
just let it be.
