Subject: [PATCH] Fix the x86 specializations of atomic_[set|clear]_mask

This patch fixes a number of issues with these specializations:

  1. The memory operand inside the asm specification is erroneously
  declared read-only instead of read-write.

  2. There is no reason to require the 1st operand of andl/orl to be
  inside a register; the 1st operand could also be an immediate operand.
  So change its specification from "r" to "ir".

  3. Since addr is supposed to be an atomic_t *, the memory operand
  should be addr->counter and not *addr.

  4. These specializations should be inline functions instead of macros.

  5. Finally, the "memory" clobbers are unnecessary, so they should be
  removed.  (This is in line with the other atomic functions such as
  atomic_add and atomic_sub, the likes of which do not have a "memory"
  clobber.)
