nscd: bump GC cycle during cache pruning (bug 26130)

While nscd prunes a cache it becomes inconsistent temporarily, which is
visible to clients if that cache is shared.  Bump the GC cycle counter so
that the clients notice the modification window.

Uniformly use atomic_fetch_add to modify the GC cycle counter.
