s390/qdio: fine-tune SLSB update
xchg() for a single-byte location assembles to a 4-byte Compare&Swap, wrapped into a non-trivial amount of retry code that deals with concurrent modifications to the unaffected bytes. Change it to a simple byte-store, but preserve the memory ordering semantics that the CS provided. This simplifies the generated code for a hot path, and in theory also allows us to amortize the memory barriers over multiple SLSB updates.
