Something like below?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: compat: fix stxr failure case in SWP emulation

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.

Looks good. Should these two go to stable?

On the second thought looks like we still update *data in case stxr
fails (or I need more coffee).
