Use a non-locking initial test in TAS_SPIN on AArch64.
Our testing showed that this is helpful at sufficiently high
contention levels and doesn't hurt performance on smaller machines.
The new TAS_SPIN macro for AArch64 is identical to the ones added
for PPC and x86_64 (see commits bc2a050d40 and b03d196be0).
Back-patch of commit 3d0b4b1068, which first shipped in v18.
Salvatore Dipietro reports that this change is beneficial on newer
Linux kernels, and the original commit has aged long enough to
provide some confidence that it won't cause problems. v14 is left
alone since it lacks commit a82a5eee31 and will soon be out of
support.
