Optimize atomic64_read() as a special open-coded
cmpxchg8b variant. This generates nicer code:

arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.o:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    435       0       0     435     1b3 atomic64_32.o.before
    431       0       0     431     1af atomic64_32.o.after

md5:
   bd8ab95e69c93518578bfaf0ea3be4d9  atomic64_32.o.before.asm
   2bdfd4bd1f6b7b61b7fc127aef90ce3b  atomic64_32.o.after.asm
