atomic_exchange if it is not implemented by a CAS loop (we also assume
that atomic_exchange can be faster if it succeeds, see
ATOMIC_EXCHANGE_USES_CAS). Otherwise, we use a weak CAS and not an
exchange so we bail out after the first failed attempt to change the
state. For the subsequent attempts we use atomic_compare_and_exchange
after we observe that the lock is not acquired.

We use acquire MO to synchronize-with the release MO store in
pthread_spin_unlock, and thus ensure that prior critical sections
happen-before this critical section. */

to cmpxchg is not a good idea on many targets as that will force
expensive memory synchronizations among processors and penalize other
running threads.
There is no technical reason for throwing in a CAS every now and then,
and so far we have no evidence that it can improve performance.
If that would be the case, we have to adjust other spin-waiting loops
elsewhere, too!
Thus we use relaxed MO reads until we observe the lock to not be
acquired anymore. */
