RFR (M): 7023898: Intrinsify AtomicLongFieldUpdater.getAndIncrement()

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Even so John said you can use LS I would suggest to use full name. Why not use 
nodes names? For a example: GetAndAdd, GetAndSet, CompareAndSwap. It is easier 
to understand the meaning.

The rest is good.

Thanks,
Vladimir
