Linus noticed that atomic64_xchg() uses atomic_read(), which
happens to work because atomic_read() is a macro so the
.counter value gets u64-read on 32-bit too - but this is really
bogus and serious bugs are waiting to happen.

Fix atomic64_xchg() to use __atomic64_read() instead.

No code changed:

arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.o:

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

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