locking/atomic: Introduce inc/dec variants for the atomic_fetch_$op() API
With the inclusion of atomic FETCH-OP variants, many places in the
kernel can make use of atomic_fetch_$op() to avoid the callers that
need to compute the value/state _before_ the operation.
Peter Zijlstra laid out the machinery but we are still missing the
simpler dec,inc() calls (which future patches will make use of).
This patch only deals with the generic code, as at least right now
no arch actually implement them -- which is similar to what the
OP-RETURN primitives currently do.
