fs: buffer: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding buffers

Discarding buffers uses a bunch of atomic operations when discarding
buffers because ......  I can't think of a reason.  Use a cmpxchg loop to
clear all the necessary flags.  In most (all?) cases this will be a single
atomic operations.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move BUFFER_FLAGS_DISCARD into the .c file]
