[PATCH 1/1] sparc32: do not write back unchanged values in emulated atomics

[Magnus Lindholm <linmag7@gmail.com>]

A failed bit-lock acquisition can restore an unlinked hlist_bl head and
leave pathname lookup retrying a dead dentry indefinitely. The owner
updates the pointer bits with a plain store while holding the bit lock.
SPARC32's hashed atomic lock does not exclude that store: an unconditional
fetch-or can write back a stale pointer even when the lock bit was set.

Skip unchanged stores in the emulated atomic fetch operations and legacy
set/clear bit helpers. This covers current test_and_set_bit()-based locks
and older generic bit-lock implementations. Keep the hash lock and IRQ
exclusion on every path, preserving ordering, return values and
changed-value updates.

This fixes the bit-lock owner/waiter protocol, not arbitrary races between
plain stores and changed-value emulated atomic operations.

Validation: forced-interleaving host regression; SMP/UP builds and QEMU
smoke boots. A native GDB 18.1 build also passed on dual-CPU HyperSPARC
as part of the combined integration; see the cover letter for scope.
