Make the one-time initialization in av_get_cpu_flags() thread-safe. The
static variables |flags|, |cpuflags_mask|, and |checked| in
libavutil/cpu.c are read and written using normal load and store
operations. These are considered as data races. The fix is to use atomic
load and store operations.
Remove the |checked| variable because the invalid value of -1 for
|flags| can be used to indicate the same condition. Rename |flags| to
|cpu_flags| and move it to file scope.
The fix can be verified by running the libavutil/tests/cpu_init.c test
program under ThreadSanitizer:
./configure --toolchain=clang-tsan
make libavutil/tests/cpu_init
libavutil/tests/cpu_init
There should be no warnings from ThreadSanitizer.

The vector mode was deprecated in ARMv7-A/VFPv3 and various cpu
implementations do not support it in hardware. Vector mode code will
depending the OS either be emulated in software or result in an illegal
instruction on cpus which does not support it. This was not really
problem in practice since NEON implementations of the same functions are
preferred. It will however become a problem for checkasm which tests
every cpu flag separately.
Since this is a cpu feature newer cpu do not support anymore the
behaviour of this flag differs from the other flags. It can be only
activated by runtime cpu feature selection.
Refactoring mmx2/mmxext YASM code with cpuflags will force renames.
So switching to a consistent naming scheme beforehand is sensible.
The name "mmxext" is more official and widespread and also the name
of the CPU flag, as reported e.g. by the Linux kernel.
This allows masking CPU features with the -cpuflags avconv option
which is useful for testing different optimisations without rebuilding.

The were broken since August of 2010 without anyone noticing until
three weeks ago. Nobody cares about it anymore and hopefully Marvell
will support NEON like in the PXA978 from now on.
The Atom has SSSE3 support, which is useful in many cases, but sometimes the
SSSE3 version is slower than the SSE2 equivalent on the Atom, but is generally
faster on other processors supporting SSSE3. This flag allows for selectively
disabling certain SSSE3 functions on the Atom.
Instead of defining functions in per-arch header files included
by the main cpu.c, define them normally and call them from the
generic one.
