selftests/xsk: replace asm acquire/release implementations
Replace our own homegrown assembly store/release and load/acquire implementations with the HW agnositic atomic APIs C11 offers. This to make the code more portable, easier to read, and reduce the maintenance burden. The original code used load-acquire and store-release barriers hand-coded in assembly. Since C11, these kind of operations are offered as built-ins in gcc and llvm. The load-acquire operation prevents hoisting of non-atomic memory operations to before this operation and it corresponds to the __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE operation in the built-in atomics. The store-release operation prevents hoisting of non-atomic memory operations to after this operation and it corresponds to the __ATOMIC_RELEASE operation in the built-in atomics.
