Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] asm-generic: cmpxchg: implement dummy cmpxchg64_relaxed operation

cmpxchg64_relaxed can be used to provide barrier-less semantics for a
64-bit cmpxchg operation in cases where the strong memory ordering is
not required.

This patch implements a dummy implementation for asm-generic, falling
back to the usual cmpxchg64 code.
