docs/atomics: update comparison with Linux

Over time, some differences between QEMU and Linux atomics are getting
smoothed.  In particular, Linux grew atomic_fetch_or (and in general
the differences regarding RMW operations were not described accurately)
and smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release.  Also, set_mb was renamed to
smp_store_mb().  Include these changes in the documentation.
