Subject: [PATCH rcu 7/7] rcu-tasks: Remove open-coded one-byte cmpxchg() emulation

This commit removes the open-coded one-byte cmpxchg() emulation from
rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs(), replacing it with just cmpxchg() given the
latter's new-found ability to handle single-byte arguments across all
architectures.
