Commit bc08b449ee14ace4d869adaa1bb35a44ce68d775 enabled lockless
reference count updates using cmpxchg() only for x86_64 and
left x86_32 behind due to inability to detect support for
cmpxchg8b instruction. Nowadays, we can use CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64
for this purpose. Also, by using try_cmpxchg64() instead of cmpxchg()
in CMPXCHG_LOOP macro, the compiler actually produces sane code,
improving lockref_get_or_lock main loop from:

 2a5:	8d 48 01             	lea    0x1(%eax),%ecx
 2a8:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
 2aa:	7e 3c                	jle    2e8 <lockref_get_or_lock+0x78>
 2ac:	8b 44 24 08          	mov    0x8(%esp),%eax
 2b0:	8b 54 24 0c          	mov    0xc(%esp),%edx
 2b4:	8b 74 24 04          	mov    0x4(%esp),%esi
 2b8:	f0 0f c7 0e          	lock cmpxchg8b (%esi)
 2bc:	8b 4c 24 0c          	mov    0xc(%esp),%ecx
 2c0:	89 c3                	mov    %eax,%ebx
 2c2:	89 d0                	mov    %edx,%eax
 2c4:	8b 74 24 08          	mov    0x8(%esp),%esi
 2c8:	31 ca                	xor    %ecx,%edx
 2ca:	31 de                	xor    %ebx,%esi
 2cc:	09 f2                	or     %esi,%edx
 2ce:	75 40                	jne    310 <lockref_get_or_lock+0xa0>

to:

  2d:	8d 4f 01             	lea    0x1(%edi),%ecx
  30:	85 ff                	test   %edi,%edi
  32:	7e 1c                	jle    50 <lockref_get_or_lock+0x50>
  34:	f0 0f c7 0e          	lock cmpxchg8b (%esi)
  38:	75 36                	jne    70 <lockref_get_or_lock+0x70>
