RISC-V: Execute a PAUSE hint in spin loops

Browse Source 
The atomic_spin_nop() macro can be used to run arch-specific
code in the body of a spin loop to potentially improve efficiency.
RISC-V's Zihintpause extension includes a PAUSE instruction for
this use-case, which is encoded as a HINT, which means that it
behaves like a NOP on systems that don't implement Zihintpause.

Binutils supports Zihintpause since 2.36, so this patch uses
the ".insn" directive to keep the code compatible with older
toolchains.
