fs: buffer: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding buffers
Discarding buffers uses a bunch of atomic operations when discarding buffers because ...... I can't think of a reason. Use a cmpxchg loop to clear all the necessary flags. In most (all?) cases this will be a single atomic operations.
