Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was
being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a
retry loop over that.

Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new
value or returning the current value.

We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.

This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying
the cacheline.
