Successful RMW operations are supposed to be fully ordered, but
Alpha's xchg() and cmpxchg() do not meet this requirement.

Will Deacon noticed the bug:

  > xchg(y, 1)
  >
  > smp_load_acquire(y) == 1
  > READ_ONCE(x) == 0

... which thus violates the above requirement.

Fix it by adding a leading smp_mb() to the xchg() and cmpxchg() implementations.
