Now that asm-generic/atomic.h is only used by architectures without any architecture-specific atomic definitions, we know that there will be no architecture-specific implementations to override, and can remove the ifdeffery this has previously required, bringing it into line with asm-generic/atomic64.h. At the same time, we can implement atomic_add() and atomic_sub() directly using ATOMIC_OP(), since we know architectures won't provide atomic_add_return() or atomic_sub_return(). There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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.
