[RFC][PATCH 2.4 3/4] inotify 0.22 2.4.x backport - atomic_inc_return

[Mihai Rusu]

Hi

Backported atomic_inc_return() from 2.6.11 for x86. Needed by inotify.c.
I have not backported for other architectures as I don't have access to
such devices and I could not test. It should be easy to do that tho.
This also means that this inotify backport currently only works for x86.
