locking/atomic: arm: fix sync ops

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit dda5f312bb ]

The sync_*() ops on arch/arm are defined in terms of the regular bitops
with no special handling. This is not correct, as UP kernels elide
barriers for the fully-ordered operations, and so the required ordering
is lost when such UP kernels are run under a hypervsior on an SMP
system.

Fix this by defining sync ops with the required barriers.

Note: On 32-bit arm, the sync_*() ops are currently only used by Xen,
which requires ARMv7, but the semantics can be implemented for ARMv6+.
