Modified Files:
        src/common/lib/libc/atomic [thorpej-atomic]: atomic_ops.3

Note that a given memory location should be modified either entirely
with atomic operations or entirely with some other synchronization
strategy, else the results are undefined.

This is critical for correctness on platforms that use interlocks
or restartable atomic sequences.
