Bug 445354 - arm64 backend: incorrect code emitted for doubleword CAS.

The sequence of instructions emitted by the arm64 backend for doubleword
compare-and-swap is incorrect.  This could lead to incorrect simulation of the
AArch8.1 atomic instructions (CASP, at least).  It also causes failures in the
upcoming fix for v8.0 support for LD{,A}XP/ST{,L}XP in bug 444399, at least
when running with the fallback LL/SC implementation
(`--sim-hints=fallback-llsc`, or as autoselected at startup).  In the worst
case it can cause segfaulting in the generated code, because it could jump
backwards unexpectedly far.

The problem is the sequence emitted for ARM64in_CASP:

* the jump offsets are incorrect, both for `bne out` (x 2) and `cbnz w1, loop`.

* using w1 to hold the success indication of the stxp instruction trashes the
  previous value in x1.  But the value in x1 is an output of ARM64in_CASP,
  hence one of the two output registers is corrupted.  That confuses any code
  downstream that want to inspect those values to find out whether or not the
  transaction succeeded.

The fixes are to

* fix the branch offsets

* use a different register to hold the stxp success indication.  w3 is a
  convenient check.
