fs: buffer: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding …

…buffers

Discarding buffers uses a bunch of atomic operations when discarding
buffers because ......  I can't think of a reason.  Use a cmpxchg loop to
clear all the necessary flags.  In most (all?) cases this will be a single
atomic operations.
