mm: remove unnecessary use of atomic
The bottom 4 hunks are atomically changing memory to which there are no
aliases as it's freshly allocated, so there's no need to use atomic
operations.
The other hunks are just atomic_read and atomic_set, and do not involve
any read-modify-write. The use of atomic_{read,set} doesn't prevent a
read/write or write/write race, so if a race were possible (I'm not saying
one is), then it would still be there even with atomic_set.
