[RFC v2 6/7] powerpc: atomic: Make atomic{, 64}_xchg and xchg a full barrier

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg and its atomic{,64}_ versions
need to imply a full barrier, however they are now just RELEASE+ACQUIRE,
which is not a full barrier.

So remove the definition of xchg(), and let __atomic_op_fence() build
the full-barrier versions of these operations.
