That are two steps, first test+clear is merged into one and then __ is
added. The former is doable but it will always lead to a write operation
while in the common case the flag isn't set so it will be skipped.
Adding the __ leads to an unlocked operation and I don't see how this is
synchronized against the other writes. In fact, nobody else is doing it.
