x86: Add memory modify constraints to xchg() and cmpxchg()
commit 113fc5a6e8c2288619ff7e8187a6f556b7e0d372 upstream.
[ Backport to .32 by Tomáš Janoušek <tomi@nomi.cz> ]
xchg() and cmpxchg() modify their memory operands, not merely read
them. For some versions of gcc the "memory" clobber has apparently
dealt with the situation, but not for all.
