[PATCH] Add memory barriers to xbegin/xend/xabort

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

xbegin/xend/xabort were missing memory barriers. This can
lead to memory operations being moved out of transactions, which would
cause unexpected races.

Always generate implicit memory barriers for these intrinsics.

The compat header versions always generated memory barriers,
so this also improves compatibility.

Passes test suite. Ok for release branches?

	PR target/63672
	* config/i386/i386.c (ix86_expand_builtin): Generate memory
	barrier after abort.
	* config/i386/i386.md (xbegin): Add memory barrier.
	(xend): Rename to ...
	(xend_1): New. Generate memory barrier and emit xend.
