Use a non-locking test in TAS_SPIN() on all IA64 platforms. Per my testing, this works just as well with gcc as it does with HP's compiler; and there is no reason to think that the effect doesn't occur with icc, either.
Also, rewrite the header comment about enforcing sequencing around spinlock operations, per Robert's gripe that it was misleading.
