Boqun Feng 49e9cf3f0c powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully ordered
According to memory-barriers.txt:

> Any atomic operation that modifies some state in memory and returns
> information about the state (old or new) implies an SMP-conditional
> general memory barrier (smp_mb()) on each side of the actual
> operation ...

Which mean these operations should be fully ordered. However on PPC,
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER is the barrier before the actual operation,
which is currently "lwsync" if SMP=y. The leading "lwsync" can not
guarantee fully ordered atomics, according to Paul Mckenney:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/14/970

To fix this, we define PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER as "sync" to guarantee
the fully-ordered semantics.

This also makes futex atomics fully ordered, which can avoid possible
memory ordering problems if userspace code relies on futex system call
for fully ordered semantics.

Fixes: b97021f855 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")
