Subject: futex: Allow architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 03b8c7b623c80af264c4c8d6111e5c6289933666 upstream.
If an architecture has futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() implemented and there
is no runtime check necessary, allow to skip the test within futex_init().
This allows to get rid of some code which would always give the same result,
and also allows the compiler to optimize a couple of if statements away.
