llist: fix/simplify llist_add() and llist_add_batch()

1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE().

   Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the
   same value for old_entry and new_last->next.

2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial
   value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this
   makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise
   it doesn't hurt to reload head->first.

   I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read
   ->first before cmpxchg().
