Subject: [PATCH V2] powerpc: Don't do runtime futex_cmpxchg test

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 19:39:50 +0530

futex_detect_cmpxchg() does a cmpxchg_futex_value_locked on a NULL user addr to
runtime detect whether architecture implements atomic cmpxchg for futex. POWER
do implement the feature and hence we can enable the config instead of depending
on runtime detection.

We could possible enable this on everything. For now limitted to book3s_64
