Subject: [PATCH 1/2] locking/atomic/x86: Introduce read64_nonatomic macro to x86_32 with cx8

As described in:

  commit e73c4e34a0e9 ("locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_atomic64_read_nonatomic() to x86_32")

the value preload before the cmpxchg loop does not need to be atomic.
Introduce read64_nonatomic macro to load the value from atomic_t
location in a faster non-atomic way and use it in atomic64_cx8_32.S.
