I'm confused by your argument, per the above quoted section, those
fences and the AMO combine into a RW,RW ordering which is (as per the
later clarification) multi-copy-atomic, aka smp_mb().
As such, S and L are not allowed to be re-ordered in the given scenario.

Risc-V is strictly stronger than required in this instance. Given the
current lock implementation. Daniel pointed out that if the atomic op
were LL/SC based instead of AMO it would end up being RCtso.
