Clean up BUSY_WAIT_NOP and atomic_delay.
This patch combines BUSY_WAIT_NOP and atomic_delay into a new
atomic_spin_nop function and adjusts all clients. The new function is
put into atomic.h because what is best done in a spin loop is
architecture-specific, and atomics must be used for spinning. The
function name is meant to tell users that this has no effect on
synchronization semantics but is a performance aid for spinning.
