Subject: [PATCH 4.14 25/68] arm64: fix unreachable code issue with cmpxchg

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

[ Upstream commit 920fdab7b3ce98c14c840261e364f490f3679a62 ]

On arm64 build with clang, sometimes the __cmpxchg_mb is not inlined
when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set.
Clang then fails a compile-time assertion, because it cannot tell at
compile time what the size of the argument is:

mm/memcontrol.o: In function `__cmpxchg_mb':
memcontrol.c:(.text+0x1a4c): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_175'
memcontrol.c:(.text+0x1a4c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `__compiletime_assert_175'

Mark all of the cmpxchg() style functions as __always_inline to
ensure that the compiler can see the result.
