x86, asm: Refactor atomic64_386_32.S to support old binutils and be cleaner
The old code didn't work on binutils 2.12 because setting a symbol to a register apparently requires a fairly recent version. This commit refactors the code to use the C preprocessor instead, and in the process makes the whole code a bit easier to understand. The object code produced is unchanged as expected. This fixes kernel bugzilla 16506. Reported-by: Dieter Stussy <kd6lvw+software@kd6lvw.ampr.org> Signed-off-by: Luca Barbieri <luca@luca-barbieri.com> Signed-off-by: H.
