x86: atomic64 assembly improvements
In the "xchg" implementation, %ebx and %ecx don't need to be copied into %eax and %edx respectively (this is only necessary when desiring to only read the stored value). In the "add_unless" implementation, swapping the use of %ecx and %esi for passing arguments allows %esi to become an input only (i.e. permitting the register to be re-used to address the same object without reload). In "{add,sub}_return", doing the initial read64 through the passed in %ecx decreases a register dependency. In "inc_not_zero", a branch can be eliminated by or-ing together the two halves of the current (64-bit) value, and code size can be further reduced by adjusting the arithmetic slightly. v2: Undo the folding of "xchg" and "set".
