Mikulas Patocka aad5b23ebf dm: fix dm_io and dm_target_io flags race condition on Alpha
Early alpha processors cannot write a single byte or short; they read 8
bytes, modify the value in registers and write back 8 bytes.

This could cause race condition in the structure dm_io - if the fields
flags and io_count are modified simultaneously.

Fix this bug by using 32-bit flags if we are on Alpha and if we are
compiling for a processor that doesn't have the byte-word-extension.

[snitzer: Jens allowed this change since Mikulas owns a relevant Alpha!]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
