atomic.h : i386 type safety fix
This patch removes an explicit cast to an integer type for the result returned
by cmpxchg. It is not per se a problem on the i386 architecture, because
sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), but whenever this code is cut'n'pasted to a
different architecture (which happened at least for x86_64), it would simply
accept passing an atomic64_t value as parameter to cmpxchg, xchg and
add_unless, having 64 bits inputs casted to 32 bits.
