gcc: backport upstream patch for sync_8 in !glibc

gcc 4.7 introduced the sync_8 builtin functions for ARM. For ARM < v7,
this requires calling into the kernel. However, the failure path of
that call reports an error with the __write() function, which is a
glibc internal function. Therefore, it fails to link with uClibc or
musl. This was fixed in gcc 5.2.0, by replacing the __write() with
a plain write().

For sync_8 itself we have solved this with the conditions on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_ARM_HAS_SYNC_8. However, the same function is also used
for the implementation of atomics.

For the internal toolchain, we can fix this by backporting the patch
to 4.9.4 and 4.8.5.
