Leo Yan 1fc7e593e2 perf auxtrace: Drop legacy __sync functions
The main purpose for using __sync built-in functions is to support
compat mode for 32-bit perf with 64-bit kernel.  But using these
built-in functions might cause potential issues.

__sync functions originally support Intel Itanium processoer [1] but it
cannot promise to support all 32-bit archs.  Now these functions have
become the legacy functions.

Considering __sync functions cannot really fix the 64-bit value
atomicity on 32-bit archs, thus this patch drops __sync functions.

Credits to Peter for detailed analysis.
