[PATCH] arm64: atomics: Dereference matching size

When building with -Warray-bounds (which is desired to be enabled
globally), the following warning is generated:

In file included from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/lse.h:16,
                 from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:14,

This is due to the compiler seeing an unsigned long * cast against
something (atomic_t) that is int sized. Replace the cast with the
matching size cast. This results in no change in binary output.
