fix broken constraints for powerpc atomic cas asm

the register constraint for the address to be accessed did not convey
that the asm can access the pointed-to object. as far as the compiler
could tell, the result of the asm was just a pure function of the
address and the values passed in, and thus the asm could be hoisted
out of loops or omitted entirely if the result was not used.
