Update the defintion of write_atomic() to support non-scalar types,
aligning it with the behavior of read_atomic().

Changes in V7:
 - use union in definition of write_atomic() to add support of non-scalar types. 
---
Changes in v6:
 - new patch.

"Aligning" would imo imply yet more similarity. Types are different,
names are different. How about "bringing it closer to"?

v_ul is an odd name for my taste. Why not just ul, which is closer to
read_atomic()'s c? Preferably with the adjustments (which I guess could
be done while committing, so long as you agree)

I will be happy with that.
