x86, asm: Clean up and simplify <asm/cmpxchg.h>

Remove the __xg() hack to create a memory barrier near xchg and
cmpxchg; it has been there since 1.3.11 but should not be necessary
with "asm volatile" and a "memory" clobber, neither of which were
there in the original implementation.

However, we *should* make this a volatile reference.
