Lowering this new node allows us to fold the almost universal
comparison for success before it's even formed. Instead we can create
a copy from EFLAGS and an X86ISD::SETCC operation since all "cmpxchg"
instructions set the zero-flag to the correct value.

The C++ and C semantics of the compare_and_swap operations actually
require us to return a boolean "success" value. In LLVM terms this
means a second comparison of the output of "cmpxchg" against the input
desired value.
However, x86's "cmpxchg" instruction sets all flags for the comparison
formed, so we can skip any secondary comparison. (N.b. this isn't true
for cmpxchg8b/16b, which only set ZF).
