Subject: [PATCHv2 02/11] atomics/x86: reduce arch_cmpxchg64*() instrumentation

Currently x86's arch_cmpxchg64() and arch_cmpxchg64_local() are
instrumented twice, as they call into instrumented atomics rather than
their arch_ equivalents.

A call to cmpxchg64() results in:

  cmpxchg64()
    kasan_check_write()
    arch_cmpxchg64()
      cmpxchg()
        kasan_check_write()
        arch_cmpxchg()

Let's fix this up and call the arch_ equivalents, resulting in:

  cmpxchg64()
    kasan_check_write()
    arch_cmpxchg64()
      arch_cmpxchg()
