    libatomic: x86_64: Always try ifunc
    
    We used to skip ifunc check when CX16 is available.  But now we use
    CX16+AVX+Intel/AMD for the "perfect" 16b load implementation, so CX16
    alone is not a sufficient reason not to use ifunc (see PR104688).
    
    This causes a subtle and annoying issue: when GCC is built with a
    higher -march= setting in CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET, ifunc is disabled and
    the worst (locked) implementation of __atomic_load_16 is always used.
    
    There seems no good way to check if the CPU is Intel or AMD from
    the built-in macros (maybe we can check every known model like __skylake,
    __bdver2, ..., but it will be very error-prune and require an update
    whenever we add the support for a new x86 model).  The best thing we can
    do seems "always try ifunc" here.
    
    libatomic/ChangeLog:
    
            * configure.tgt: For x86_64, always set try_ifunc=yes.
