locking/qrwlock: Make use of _{acquire|release|relaxed}() atomics
The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory
barriers, mainly through the use of _cmpxchg() and _return() atomics, which
imply full barrier semantics.
This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic
routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on
weakly-ordered architectures.
