This clear needs to be moved down below label l2.
Otherwise, with lr / sc / sc, the second sc could succeed in error.

FWIW, other targets have used -1 as the "invalid" load reservation, since the
architecture does not require address 0 to be unmapped.  This should be quite
visible in M-mode with paging disabled and ram at offset 0.  Often, other
targets require alignment for the lr/sc address, though I don't see that for 
riscv.
