The trailing isync/lwsync in PowerPC value-returning atomics needs
to be a sync in order to provide the required ordering properties.
The leading lwsync/eieio can remain, as the remainder of the required
ordering guarantees are provided by the atomic instructions: Any
reordering will cause the stwcx to fail, which will result in a retry.

This commit provides the needed adjustment.
