Subject: [PATCH 4.14 25/94] ARC: atomics: unbork atomic_fetch_##op()

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

[ Upstream commit 3fcbb8260a87efb691d837e8cd24e81f65b3eb70 ]

In 4.19-rc1, Eugeniy reported weird boot and IO errors on ARC HSDK

He bisected to 84c6591103db ("locking/atomics,
asm-generic/bitops/lock.h: Rewrite using atomic_fetch_*()")

This commit however only unmasked the real issue introduced by commit
4aef66c8ae9 ("locking/atomic, arch/arc: Fix build") which missed the
retry-if-scond-failed branch in atomic_fetch_##op() macros.

The bisected commit started using atomic_fetch_##op() macros for building
the rest of atomics.
