[PATCH] devtools: exclude atomic checks for common cnxk

[pbhagavatula at marvell.com]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula at marvell.com>

Since driver/common/cnxk has common code that is
used across multiple platforms, allow use of
GCC builtin atomic functions.

 Rest of drivers i.e., drivers/*/cnxk have been migrated to use stdatomics in:
