Subject: [PATCH 3.10 37/41] futex: Allow architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

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.
