The VMCI driver is abusing atomic64_t and atomic_t, there is no actual atomic RmW operations around. Rewrite the code to use a regular u64 with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() and a cast to 'unsigned long'. This fully preserves whatever broken there was (it's not endian-safe for starters, and also looks to be missing ordering).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
