locking/xchg/alpha: Fix xchg() and cmpxchg() memory ordering bugs
[ Upstream commit 472e8c55cf6622d1c112dc2bc777f68bbd4189db ]
Successful RMW operations are supposed to be fully ordered, but
Alpha's xchg() and cmpxchg() do not meet this requirement.
Will Deacon noticed the bug:

... which thus violates the above requirement.
Fix it by adding a leading smp_mb() to the xchg() and cmpxchg() implementations.
