The in_use flag is a per core variable which is not shared between
lcores in the normal case and the access of this variable should be
ordered on the same core. However, if non-EAL thread pick the highest
lcore to insert timers into, there is the possibility of conflicts
on this flag between threads. Then the atomic compare-and-swap
operation is needed.
Use the C11 atomics instead of the generic rte_atomic operations to
avoid the unnecessary barrier on aarch64.
