Ingo Molnar 824975ef19 x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_add_return()
Linus noted (based on Eric Dumazet's numbers) that we would
probably be better off not trying an atomic_read() in
atomic64_add_return() but intead intentionally let the first
cmpxchg8b fail - to get a cache-friendly 'give me ownership
of this cacheline' transaction. That can then be followed
by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.
