dm: fix dm_io and dm_target_io flags race condition on Alpha
Early alpha processors cannot write a single byte or short; they read 8 bytes, modify the value in registers and write back 8 bytes. This could cause race condition in the structure dm_io - if the fields flags and io_count are modified simultaneously. Fix this bug by using 32-bit flags if we are on Alpha and if we are compiling for a processor that doesn't have the byte-word-extension.
