[Devel] [PATCH rh7 4/8] locking: Remove atomicy checks from {READ, WRITE}_ONCE

[Andrey Ryabinin]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>

The fact that volatile allows for atomic load/stores is a special case
not a requirement for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(). Their primary purpose is to
force the compiler to emit load/stores _once_.
