Ingo Molnar 3217120873 x86: atomic64: Make atomic_read() type-safe
Linus noticed that atomic64_xchg() uses atomic_read(), which
happens to work because atomic_read() is a macro so the
.counter value gets u64-read on 32-bit too - but this is really
bogus and serious bugs are waiting to happen.

Change atomic_read() to be a type-safe inline, and this exposes
the atomic64 bogosity as well:

  arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c: In function ‘atomic64_xchg’:
  arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c:39: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘atomic_read’ from incompatible pointer type
