Optimize cmpxchg with ASM acquire/release fence ASM instructions instead of previous generic based. Prevent a fence when cmxchg's first load != old. Comments by Rutland: 8e86f0b4 ("arm64: atomics: fix use of acquire + release for full barrier semantics") Comments by Boqun: FWIW, you probably need to make sure that a barrier instruction inside an lr/sc loop is a good thing. IIUC, the execution time of a barrier instruction is determined by the status of store buffers and invalidate queues (and probably other stuffs), so it may increase the execution time of the lr/sc loop, and make it unlikely to succeed. But this really depends on how the arch executes these instructions.
