arm64: compat: fix stxr failure case in SWP emulation
If the STXR instruction fails in the SWP emulation code, we leave *data
overwritten with the loaded value, therefore corrupting the data written
by a subsequent, successful attempt.
This patch re-jigs the code so that we only write back to *data once we
know that the update has happened.
