nativeGen/X86: MFENCE is unnecessary for release semantics

In #22764 a user noticed that a program implementing a simple atomic
counter via an STRef regressed significantly due to the introduction of
necessary atomic operations in the MutVar# primops (#22468). This
regression was caused by a bug in the NCG, which emitted an unnecessary
MFENCE instruction for a release-ordered atomic write. MFENCE is rather
only needed to achieve sequentially consistent ordering.

Fixes #22764.
