RDS: Use spinlock to protect 64b value update on 32b archs
We have a 64bit value that needs to be set atomically.
This is easy and quick on all 64bit archs, and can also be done
on x86/32 with set_64bit() (uses cmpxchg8b). However other
32b archs don't have this.
I actually changed this to the current state in preparation for
mainline because the old way (using a spinlock on 32b) resulted in
unsightly #ifdefs in the code. But obviously, being correct takes
precedence.
