Andrea Parri 472e8c55cf locking/xchg/alpha: Fix xchg() and cmpxchg() memory ordering bugs 
Successful RMW operations are supposed to be fully ordered, but
Alpha's xchg() and cmpxchg() do not meet this requirement.

Will Deacon noticed the bug:

... which thus violates the above requirement.

Fix it by adding a leading smp_mb() to the xchg() and cmpxchg() implementations.
