I think that here (and in the arm64 patch) it'd be better to use add_wrap() on
the specific statement, i.e. have:
static __always_inline int arch_atomic_add_return(int i, atomic_t *v)
{
return add_wrap(i, xadd(&v->counter, i));
}
.. since otherwise the annotation could applly to the '+' or something else
(e.g. if the 'xadd() part is a special macro), and the annotation might
unexpectedly hide things if we add other statements here in future.
