[ARM] Emit clrex in the expanded cmpxchg fail block.
ARM counterpart to r248291: In the comparison failure block of a cmpxchg expansion, the initial ldrex/ldxr will not be followed by a matching strex/stxr. On ARM/AArch64, this unnecessarily ties up the execution monitor, which might have a negative performance impact on some uarchs. Instead, release the monitor in the failure block. The clrex instruction was designed for this: use it. Also see ARMARM v8-A B2.10.2: "Exclusive access instructions and Shareable memory locations".
