pstore/core: drop cmpxchg based updates
I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for pstore. Now it seems that the FPGA no longer supports cmpxchg based updates and writes back 0xff…ff and returns the same. This leads to crash during crash rendering pstore useless. Since I doubt that there is much benefit from using cmpxchg() here, I am dropping this atomic access and use the spinlock based version.
