From: Mihai Donțu <mdo...@bitdefender.com>
As it was the case for lock cmpxchg, lock cmpxchg8b was emulated in two
steps the first one setting/clearing the zero flag and the last one
making the actual atomic operation.
This patch fixes that by combining the two, ie. the writeback step is
no longer necessary as the first step made the changes directly in
memory.
