Originally that code was intended only for R2000-class processors.  But
LL/SC don't work correctly on XKPHYS addresses on some R5000-class
processors, so we avoid these instructions on the affected processors
running 64-bit kernels and use the fallback method of disabling interrupts
anyway, so long indeed might be longer than int.  What in the end saves
us is that atomic_sub_if_positive's only caller atomic_dec_if_positive
is only being used by the RM9000 watchdog driver and the RM9000 doesn't
suffer from the mentioned CPU bug.

Still no reason not to fix it.  I changed the intermediate variables used in
all functions that operate on atomic_t to int rsp. long for the atomic64_*
functions for consistency - which as a nice side effect also shaves of
almost 2kB from the kernel due to the elemination of gcc-generated
non-sense sign extension code.

MIPS: atomic_*(): Change type of intermediate variables.

This shaves of 1912 bytes of an IP27 defconfig kernel and avoids
unexpected overflow behaviour in atomic_sub_if_positive.  Apply the same
changes to the atomic64_* functions for consistency.
