// Single consumer multi producer stack. We can understand the two operations independently to see
// why they are without race condition.
//
// push is responsible for maintaining a linked list stored in mPush, and called from multiple
// threads without lock. We can see that if two threads never observe the same value from
// mPush.load, it just functions as a normal linked list. In the case where two threads observe the
// same value, one of them has to execute the compare_exchange first. The one that doesn't execute
// the compare exchange first, will receive false from compare_exchange. previousHead is updated (by
// compare_exchange) to the most recent value of mPush, and we try again. It's relatively clear to
// see that the process can repeat with an arbitrary number of threads.
//
// Pop is much simpler. If mPop is empty (as it begins) it atomically exchanges
// the entire push list with null. This is safe, since the only other reader (push)
// of mPush will retry if it changes in between it's read and atomic compare. We
// then store the list and pop one element.
//
// If we already had something in the pop list we just pop directly.
