MIPS: cavium_octeon: Fix syncw generation.
The Cavium Octeon CPU uses a special sync instruction for implementing wmb, and due to a CPU bug, the instruction must appear twice. A macro had been defined to hide this: #define __SYNC_rpt(type) (1 + (type == __SYNC_wmb)) which was intended to evaluate to 2 for __SYNC_wmb, and 1 for any other type of sync. However, this expression is evaluated by the assembler, and not the compiler, and the result of '==' in the assembler is 0 or -1, not 0 or 1 as it is in C. The net result was wmb() producing no code at all. The simple fix in this patch is to change the '+' to '-'.
