Again in this case we are making explicit the exact cast
that was always happening implicitly. The patch does not
change the generated code.
The int32_t temp "x" is required to be signed to detect
a < 0 error condition from the lock status. Afterwards,
it has always been implicitly cast to uint32_t when it
is used in the arguments to rte_atomic32_cmpset()...
gcc8.1 objects to the implicit cast now and requires us
to cast it explicitly.
