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.
