parisc: Add atomic64_set_release() define to avoid CPU soft lockups
commit be6577af0cef934ccb036445314072e8cb9217b9 upstream. Stalls are quite frequent with recent kernels. I enabled CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR and I caught the following stall: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!

If it is contended, then * within the inner loop a non-atomic test is used to * busywait with less bus contention for a good time to * attempt to acquire the lock bit. */ preempt_disable(); #if defined(CONFIG_SMP) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK) while (unlikely(test_and_set_bit_lock(bitnum, addr))) { preempt_enable(); do { cpu_relax(); } while (test_bit(bitnum, addr)); preempt_disable(); } #endif __acquire(bitlock); } After consideration, I realized that we must be losing bit unlocks. Then, I noticed that we missed defining atomic64_set_release(). Adding this define fixes the stalls in bit operations.
