 Fix static GHCi build (#8270)

 When Ryan merged in the atomics branch, he made atomic_inc and
 atomic_dec EXTERN_INLINE functions, meaning their definitions
 became part of object files in the non-threaded build, instead of being
 inlined. As a result, this broke the linker for static GHCi, since it
 couldn't properly resolve the now-externally defined functions.
