3.19.8-ckt10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Will Deacon <will.dea...@arm.com>
commit 589cb22bbedacf325951014c07a35a2b01ca57f6 upstream.
If the STXR instruction fails in the SWP emulation code, we leave *data
overwritten with the loaded value, therefore corrupting the data written
by a subsequent, successful attempt.
This patch re-jigs the code so that we only write back to *data once we
know that the update has happened.
Fixes: bd35a4adc413 ("arm64: Port SWP/SWPB emulation support from arm")
