x86: atomic64: Fix unclean type use in atomic64_xchg()
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.
