Since v->counter is both read and written, it should be an
output as well as an input for the asm. The current code
only gets away with this because counter is volatile. Also,
according to Documents/atomic_ops.txt, atomic_add_return
should provide a memory barrier, in particular a compiler
barrier, so the asm should be marked as clobbering memory.
Test case attached.
