xen/mcelog: simplify MCE_GETCLEAR_FLAGS using xchg()
The MCE_GETCLEAR_FLAGS ioctl retrieves xen_mcelog.flags while
atomically clearing it. This was previously implemented using a
cmpxchg() loop.
Replace the cmpxchg() loop with a single xchg(), which provides the
same atomic get-and-clear semantics, avoids retry spinning under
contention, and simplifies the code.
The code on x86_64 improves from:
186: 8b 15 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%edx
18c: 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax
18e: f0 0f b1 0d 00 00 00 lock cmpxchg %ecx,0x0(%rip)
195: 00
196: 39 c2 cmp %eax,%edx
198: 75 ec jne 186 <...>
to just:
186: 87 05 00 00 00 00 xchg %eax,0x0(%rip)
No functional change intended.
