An otherwise correct change to the atomic operations uncovered an
existing bug in the sparc __arch_xchg() function, which is calls
__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() when its arguments are unknown at
compile time:
ERROR: modpost: "__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer" [lib/atomic64_test.ko] undefined!
This now happens because gcc determines that it's better to not inline the
function. Avoid this by just marking the function as __always_inline
to force the compiler to do the right thing here.
