[PATCH] Use CAS instead of atomic swap to implement spinlock

[Alexander Monakov <amonakov@ispras.ru>]

This should allow spinning without constantly dirtying cache lines holding the
spinlock value.  On architectures without native atomic swap, musl implement
a_swap by looping around a_cas.

If I'm not mistaken this was also suggested by nsz on IRC.
