The atomic_cmpxchg() loop is broken because we occasionally end up with
old and _old having different values (a legit compiler can generate code
that accessed *ind_addr again to pick up a value for _old instead of
using the value of old that was already fetched according to the
rules of the abstract machine). This means the underlying CS instruction
may use a different old (_old) than the one we intended to use if
atomic_cmpxchg() performed the xchg part.
Let us use volatile to force the rules of the abstract machine for
accesses to *ind_addr. Let us also rewrite the loop so, we that the
new old is used to compute the new desired value if the xchg part
is not performed.
