  Use C11 atomic built-ins with explicit ordering instead of rte_atomic
ops which enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

v3:
1.Fix ABI breakage.
2.Simplify data type cast.

v2:
Fix ABI issue: revert the rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info struct refcnt field
to refcnt_atomic.

To avoid an API breakage (i.e. currently, an application that accesses
to refcnt_atomic expects that its type is rte_atomic16_t), I suggest to
do the same than in the mbuf struct:

	union {
		rte_atomic16_t refcnt_atomic;
		uint16_t refcnt;
	};

I hope the ABI checker won't complain.

It will also be better for 20.11 when the deprecated fields will be
renamed: the remaining one will be called 'refcnt' in both mbuf and
mbuf_ext_shared_info.

Got it. I agree with you.
It should work. In my local test machine, the ABI checker happy with this approach. 
Once the test is done, I will upstream the new patch.

Appreciate your comments.

Does this need a deprecation notice in 20.08?

Yes. We'd better do that.
I will add a notice for it in this patch. Thanks.
