Declare aarch64 has single copy atomicity for 8 byte values.

Architecture Reference Manual for ARMv8 B2.2.1 [1]

For explicit memory effects generated from an Exception level the
following rules apply:
- A read that is generated by a load instruction that loads a single
general-purpose register and is aligned to the size of the read in the
instruction is single-copy atomic.
- A write that is generated by a store instruction that stores a single
general-purpose register and is aligned to the size of the write in the
instruction is single-copy atomic.
