<summary>Changes</summary>

This patch simplifies the logic of `insertWaitcntInBlock()` by moving the code that removes the redundant soft xcnt instructions to a new function: `removeRedundantSoftXcnts()`.

While doing so, this patch also cleans up the logic a bit by dropping the AtomiRMWState and the corresponding functions.

This helps in several ways:
- insertWaitcntInBlock() will now do what its name suggests, i.e., only insert and not remove.
- it makes it clear that removal of softxcnts is orthogonal to insertion of waitcnts.
- we won't have to worry about both erased and new instruction in insertWaitcntInBlock()'s loop.

The change should be NFC.
