Fix the definition of cas() on x86 (#8219)
*p is both read and written to by the cmpxchg instruction, and therefore should be given the '+' constraint modifier. (In GCC's extended ASM language, '+' means that the operand is both read and written to whereas '=' means that it is only written to.) Otherwise, the compiler is allowed to rewrite something like SpinLock lock; initSpinLock(&lock); /* sets lock = 1 */ ACQUIRE_SPIN_LOCK(&lock); into SpinLock lock; ACQUIRE_SPIN_LOCK(&lock); because according to the asm statement, the previous value of 'lock' is not important.
