Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Revert "atomic: Export fetch_or()"

This reverts commit 5fd7a09cfb8c6852f596c1f8c891c6158395250e.

Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.

Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.

While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.
