Actually, that's the way __atomic_is_lock_free() has always been implemented
(even in 4.7).
The change is simply wrong and needs to be reverted. __atomic_is_lock_free()
*must* call the library routine of the same name if the compiler can't generate
the lock free sequence. That's the way the 2 routines were designed to
inter-operate. The current code introduces an new upgrade path bug, so its
fixing a problem in the wrong place and introducing another.
And yes, 54004 is legitimate and separate from this issue. Fixing that by
giving targets a say in what atomic alignment is will resolve this one without
any changes.
