[PATCH v5 2/7] linux/include: add non-atomic version of xchg

[Andrzej Hajda <andrzej.hajda@intel.com>]

The pattern of setting variable with new value and returning old
one is very common in kernel. Usually atomicity of the operation
is not required, so xchg seems to be suboptimal and confusing in
such cases.
