reproducer

The Armv8.1-a target has a compare-and-swap (CAS) instruction which is used to
implement cmpxchg operation of LLVM IR. However, at -O0 the code generator is
still emitting a long code sequence to emulate this instruction.

LLVM should use CAS even at -O0.

A reproducer that show the behaviour is attached. Compile using:
  llc -mattr=+v8.1a  cmpxchg.ll -O[0|2]
