[PATCH 3.10 280/319] locking: Remove atomicy checks from {READ,WRITE}_ONCE

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 7bd3e239d6c6d1cad276e8f130b386df4234dcd7 upstream.

The fact that volatile allows for atomic load/stores is a special case
not a requirement for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(). Their primary purpose is to
force the compiler to emit load/stores _once_.
