x86: lock bitops
I missed an obvious one!
x86 CPUs are defined not to reorder stores past earlier loads, so there is
no hardware memory barrier required to implement a release-consistent store
(all stores are, by definition).
So ditch the generic lock bitops, and implement optimised versions for x86,
which removes the mfence from __clear_bit_unlock (which is already a useful
primitive for SLUB).
