This commit adds four litmus tests showing that a failing cmpxchg()
operation is unordered unless followed by an smp_mb__after_atomic()
operation.

RM-broken.litmus
- Demonstrates problems with "roach motel" locking, where code is
- freely moved into lock-based critical sections. This example also
- shows how to use the "filter" clause to discard executions that
- would be excluded by other code not modeled in the litmus test.
- Note also that this "roach motel" optimization is emulated by
- physically moving P1()'s two reads from x under the lock.
