Rollup merge of #121082 - peterjoel:atomic-docs, r=cuviper
Clarified docs on non-atomic oprations on owned/mut refs to atomics I originally misinterpreted the documentation to mean that the compiler can/will automatically optimise away atomic operations whenever the data is owned or mutably referenced. On re-reading I think it is not technically incorrect, but specifically mentioning _how_ the atomic operations can be avoided also prevents this misunderstanding.

//! Rust atomics currently follow the same rules as [C++20 atomics][cpp], specifically `atomic_ref`.
|
||||
//! Basically, creating a *shared reference* to one of the Rust atomic types corresponds to creating
|
||||
//! an `atomic_ref` in C++; the `atomic_ref` is destroyed when the lifetime of the shared reference
|
||||
//! ends. (A Rust atomic type that is exclusively owned or behind a mutable reference does *not*
|
||||
//! correspond to an "atomic object" in C++, since it can be accessed via non-atomic operations.)
