xchg() and cmpxchg() are basic operations on atomic. Provide these based
on C APIs.

Note that cmpxchg() use the similar function signature as
compare_exchange() in Rust std: returning a `Result`, `Ok(old)` means
the operation succeeds and `Err(old)` means the operation fails. With
the compiler optimization and inline helpers, it should provides the
same efficient code generation as using atomic_try_cmpxchg() or
atomic_cmpxchg() correctly.

Except it's not! Because of commit 44fe84459faf ("locking/atomic: Fix
atomic_try_cmpxchg() semantics"), the atomic_try_cmpxchg() on x86 has a
branch even if the caller doesn't care about the success of cmpxchg and
only wants to use the old value. For example, for code like:

    // Uses the latest value regardlessly, same as atomic_cmpxchg() in C.
    let latest = x.cmpxchg(42, 64, Full).unwrap_or_else(|old| old);

It will still generate code:

    movl    $0x40, %ecx
    movl    $0x34, %eax
    lock
    cmpxchgl        %ecx, 0x4(%rsp)
    jne     1f
2:
...
1:  movl    %eax, %ecx
    jmp 2b

Attempting to write an x86 try_cmpxchg_exclusive() for Rust use only,
because the Rust function takes a `&mut` for old pointer, which must be
exclusive to the function, therefore it's unsafe to use some shared
pointer. But maybe I'm missing something?
