[PATCH 1/4] ARM: atomic ops: fix register constraints for atomic64_add_unless

The atomic64_add_unless function compares an atomic variable with
a given value and, if they are not equal, adds another given value
to the atomic variable. The function returns zero if the addition
did not occur and non-zero otherwise.
On ARM, the return value is initialised to 1 in C code. Inline assembly
code then performs the atomic64_add_unless operation, setting the
return value to 0 iff the addition does not occur. This means that
when the addition *does* occur, the value of ret must be preserved
across the inline assembly and therefore requires a "+r" constraint
rather than the current one of "=&r".
Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for helping to spot this.
