Summary:
I think there might be something to optimize in `atomic_store`.
Currently, if everything goes well (and we have a different new value), we
always iterate 3 times.
For example, `with a = 0`, `oldval = a`, `newval = 42`, we get:
```
oldval = 0, newval = 42, curval = 0
oldval = 0, newval = 42, curval = 42
oldval = 42, newval = 42, curval = 42
```
and then it breaks.

Unless I am not seeing something, I don't see a point to the third iteration.
If the current value is the one we want, we should just break.
This means that 2 iterations (with a different newval) should be sufficient to
achieve what we want.
