Is this second IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS) check actually needed?
(just wondering - no real objection)

Why the semicolon?

This is because the compiler doesn't realize __ret is actually
initialized, right?  IAC, seems a bit unexpected to initialize
with (old) (which indicates SUCCESS of the CMPXCHG operation);
how about using (new) for the initialization of __ret instead?
would (new) still work for you?
