Subject: parisc: Use double word condition in 64bit CAS operation

From: John David Anglin <[email protected]>

commit 1b59ddfcf1678de38a1f8ca9fb8ea5eebeff1843 upstream.

The attached change fixes the condition used in the "sub" instruction. A double word comparison is needed. This fixes the 64-bit LWS CAS operation on 64-bit kernels.

I can now enable 64-bit atomic support in GCC.
