Subject: [PATCH] staging: line6: avoid __sync_fetch_and_{and,or}

__sync_fetch_and_and and __sync_fetch_and_or are functions that are provided
by gcc and depending on the target architecture may be implemented in libgcc,
which is not always available in the kernel. This leads to a build failure
on ARMv5:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `line6_pcm_release':
:(.text+0x3bfe80): undefined reference to `__sync_fetch_and_and_4'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `line6_pcm_acquire':
:(.text+0x3bff30): undefined reference to `__sync_fetch_and_or_4'

To work around this, we can use the kernel-provided cmpxchg macro.

Build-tested only.
