  Use c11 atomics with explicit ordering instead of rte_atomic ops which
enforce unnecessary barriers on aarch64.

I did not look at the details, but this patch is refused by the ABI
check in Travis.

Thanks, David.
The ABI issue is the name of 'rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info::refcnt_atomic' changed to 'rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info::refcnt' at rte_mbuf_core.h.
I made this change just to simplify the name of the variable.

Revert the 'rte_mbuf_ext_shared_info::refcnt' to refcnt_atomic can fix this issue.
I will update it in v2.

Thanks,
Phil
