Remove duplicate reads from the inner loops in generic atomic ops.
The pg_atomic_compare_exchange_xxx functions are defined to update
*expected to whatever they read from the target variable. Therefore,
there's no need to do additional explicit reads after we've initialized
the "old" variable. The actual benefit of this is somewhat debatable,
but it seems fairly unlikely to hurt anything, especially since we
will override the generic implementations in most performance-sensitive
cases.
