Subject: arm64: compat: fix stxr failure case in SWP emulation

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

commit 589cb22bbedacf325951014c07a35a2b01ca57f6 upstream.

If the STXR instruction fails in the SWP emulation code, we leave *data
overwritten with the loaded value, therefore corrupting the data written
by a subsequent, successful attempt.

This patch re-jigs the code so that we only write back to *data once we
know that the update has happened.
