improve aarch64 atomics
aarch64 provides ll/sc variants with acquire/release memory order, freeing us from the need to have full barriers both before and after the ll/sc operation. previously they were not used because the a_cas can fail without performing a_sc, in which case half of the barrier would be omitted. instead, define a custom version of a_cas for aarch64 which uses a_barrier explicitly when aborting the cas operation. aside from cas, other operations built on top of ll/sc are not affected since they never abort but rather loop until they succeed. a split ll/sc version of the pointer-sized a_cas_p is also introduced using the same technique. patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
