sbitmap: replace CAS with atomic and
sbitmap_deferred_clear() does CAS loop to propagate cleared bits,
replace it with equivalent atomic bitwise and. That's slightly faster
and makes wait-free instead of lock-free as before.
The atomic can be relaxed (i.e. barrier-less) because following
sbitmap_get*() deal with synchronisation, see comments in
sbitmap_queue_clear().
It's ok to cast to atomic_long_t, that's what bitops/lock.h does.
