This patch introduces cmpxchg64_relaxed for arm, which performs a 64-bit
cmpxchg operation without barrier semantics. cmpxchg64_local is updated
to use the new operation.

Our cmpxchg64 macros are wrappers around atomic64_cmpxchg. Whilst this is
great for code re-use, there is a case for barrier-less cmpxchg where it
is known to be safe (for example cmpxchg64_local and cmpxchg-based
lockrefs).
This patch introduces a 64-bit cmpxchg implementation specifically
for the cmpxchg64_* macros, so that it can be later used by the lockref
code.

The implementation of cmpxchg64() for the ARM v6 and v7 architecture
casts parameter 2 and 3 (the old and new 64bit values) to an unsigned
long before calling the atomic_cmpxchg64() function. This clears
the top 32 bits of the old and new values, resulting in the wrong
values being compare-exchanged. Luckily, this only appears to be used
for 64-bit sched_clock, which we don't (yet) have on ARM.
This bug was introduced by commit 3e0f5a15f5 ("ARM: 7404/1: cmpxchg64:
use atomic64 and local64 routines for cmpxchg64").

The cmpxchg64 routines for ARMv6+ CPUs replicate inline assembly that
already exists for atomic64 operations. Furthermore, the cmpxchg64 code
uses the "memory" constraint in the clobber list rather than identifying
the region of memory that is actually modified.
This patch replaces the ARMv6+ cmpxchg64 code with macros that expand to
the atomic64_ and local64_ variants, casting the pointer parameter to
the appropriate container type.
