It makes no sense whatsoever, especially since you don't even check the return value. If you need the operation to be atomic, then you have to check the return value and do something to recover if something else beat you to the xchg() and put something else into the location. Otherwise, you therefore don't need it be atomic and can avoid this expensive operation and just store the value normally.
