ARM counterpart to r248291:
In the comparison failure block of a cmpxchg expansion, the initial
ldrex/ldxr will not be followed by a matching strex/stxr.
On ARM/AArch64, this unnecessarily ties up the execution monitor,
which might have a negative performance impact on some uarchs.
Instead, release the monitor in the failure block.
The clrex instruction was designed for this: use it.
Also see ARMARM v8-A B2.10.2:
"Exclusive access instructions and Shareable memory locations".

This also simplifies the IR we create slightly: instead of working out
where success & failure should go manually, it turns out we can just
always jump to a success/failure block created for the purpose. Later
phases will sort out the mess without much difficulty.
