x86: atomic64: Code atomic(64)_read and atomic(64)_set in C not CPP

Browse Source 
Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are
used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa.  These bugs don't
generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.

This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
type-checking on their arguments too.

Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new
warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.
