Documentation/locking/atomic: Finish the document...

Julia reported that the document looked unfinished, and it is. I
forgot to include the example cooked up by Paul here:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170731174345.GL3730@linux.vnet.ibm.com

and I added an explicit example showing how, while it is an ACQUIRE
pattern, it really does provide an MB.
