Linux kernel expects tlb flush SBI call to be completely synchronous i.e.
the SBI call should only return once corresponding *fence* instruction is
executed.
OpenSBI manages the outstanding TLB flush requests by keeping them in a
per hart based fifo. However, there are few corner cases that may lead to
race conditions while updating the fifo.
Currently, the caller hart waits for IPI acknowledgement via clint
address which is not a very good method as synchronization on MMIO may not
be supported in every platform. Moreover, the waiter doesn't have any way of
identifying if the IPI is received for specific tlb flush request or any
other IPI. This may lead to unpredictable behavior in supervisor/user space.
Fix this by waiting on individual fifo entries rather than MMIO address.
Currently, a relaxed loop is being used because wfi again involves MMIO write
which would be slower compared to relaxed loop. To avoid deadlock, fifo
is processed every time a hart loops for fifo enqueue or fifo sync to consume
the tlb flush requests sent by other harts.

In the last argument to sbi_memset() we essentially have the following
multiplication:
size_t = u16 * u16
Due to C's integer semantics, both u16's are implicitly converted to int
before the multiplication, which cannot hold all possible values of a
u16 * u16. If the multiplication overflows, the intermediate result will
be a negative number. On 64-bit platforms, this will be sign-extended to
a huge integer in the conversion to a u64 (aka size_t). Being the size
argument to sbi_memset(), this could potentially cause a large
out-of-bounds write. The solution is to manually cast one of the u16 to
a size_t, which will make it large enough to avoid the implicit
conversion and any overflow.

All string functions are part of libsbi. It makes more sense
to rename them to sbi_string.x as the libsbi can be linked
with external libraries that can have similar implementation.

libsbi needs some of the custom libc functions. It should be directly
included in libsbi instead of platform specific libraries.
