Subject: [PATCH] locking/Documentation: Clarify failed cmpxchg() memory
 ordering semantics

A failed cmpxchg does not provide any memory ordering guarantees, a
property that is used to optimise the cmpxchg implementations on Alpha,
PowerPC and arm64.

This patch updates atomic_ops.txt and memory-barriers.txt to reflect
this.
