Power ISA 2.07B section B.5.5 relaxed the barrier requirement around a
TLE enabled lock. It is now identical to a traditional lock.

(__arch_compare_and_exchange_val_32_acq): Remove and use common
definition. ISA 2.07B no longer requires full sync.
This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware
transactional memory instructions for pthread_mutex primitives.
Similar to s390 version, the for elision logic defined in
'force-elision.h' is only enabled if ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION is defined.
Also, the lock elision code should be able to be built even with
a compiler that does not provide HTM support with builtins.
However I have noted the performance is sub-optimal due scheduling
pressures.
