x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_xchg()

Remove the read-first logic from atomic64_xchg() and simplify
the loop.

This function was the last user of __atomic64_read() - remove it.

Also, change the 'real_val' assumption from the somewhat quirky
1ULL << 32 value to the (just as arbitrary, but simpler) value
of 0.
