Jan Beulich cebef5beed x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()
They had several problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the 2x32bit asm()
operands, and 2x64-bit version had a memory clobber. The first
allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the
data in case it had it cached in some register, and the second
was overly destructive.

The memory operand in the 2x32-bit asm() was declared to only be
an output.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (as in other per-CPU ops, the types of the per-CPU
variables accessed should be used here, to make sure the
respective types are compatible).

The __dummy variable was pointless (and needlessly initialized
in the 2x32-bit case), given that local copies of the inputs
already exist.

The 2x64-bit variant forced the address of the first object into
%rsi, even though this is needed only for the call to the
emulation function. The real cmpxchg16b can operate on an
memory.

At once also change the return value type to what it really is -
'bool'.
