I think, the same fix should be applied to the lines following this patch:
#define __this_cpu_sub_return(pcp, val) this_cpu_add_return(pcp, -(val))
#define __this_cpu_inc_return(pcp) this_cpu_add_return(pcp, 1)
#define __this_cpu_dec_return(pcp) this_cpu_add_return(pcp, -1)

Shouldn't these other operations also only give the __ relaxed guarantees?
