Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_atomic64_read_tearable to x86_32

Introduce arch_atomic64_read_tearable for 32-bit targets to load
the value from atomic64_t location in a non-atomic way. The read
might be torn, but can safely be consumed by the 64-bit
compare-and-swap loop.
