Use rel semantics of cas instead of acq semantics with full barrier before it in _int_free
The following patch fixes catomic_compare_and_exchange_*_rel definitions
(which were never used and weren't correct) and uses
catomic_compare_and_exchange_val_rel in _int_free.  Comparing to the
pre-2009-07-02 --enable-experimental-malloc state the generated code should
be identical on all arches other than ppc/ppc64 and on ppc/ppc64 should use
lwsync instead of isync barrier.
