powerpc: atomic: Implement atomic{, 64}_*_return_* variants
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556096 On powerpc, acquire and release semantics can be achieved with lightweight barriers("lwsync" and "ctrl+isync"), which can be used to implement __atomic_op_{acquire,release}. For release semantics, since we only need to ensure all memory accesses that issue before must take effects before the -store- part of the atomics, "lwsync" is what we only need. On the platform without "lwsync", "sync" should be used. Therefore in __atomic_op_release() we use PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER. For acquire semantics, "lwsync" is what we only need for the similar reason. However on the platform without "lwsync", we can use "isync" rather than "sync" as an acquire barrier. Therefore in __atomic_op_acquire() we use PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER, which is barrier() on UP, "lwsync" if available and "isync" otherwise. Implement atomic{,64}_{add,sub,inc,dec}_return_relaxed, and build other variants with these helpers.
