In port/atomic_pointer.h, the preference is to use MemoryBarrier if available, and only fall back to std::atomic if it isn't available.
I believe it would be preferable to use std::atomic, as it may allow better performance, and integrates without changes into ThreadSanitizer.
This PR changes the preference to std::atomic if available.
