This description doesn't actually make it clear why this is failing in
this case, until one looks at get_futex_value_locked() and realises
that what is actually going on here is:
*dest = (typeof(*(p))) __r2;
which is why we end up with the store there.

There is no need to re-assign __tmp_e back to __e - you can just return
__tmp_e here.
