Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ARC: build: Use __force to suppress per-CPU cmpxchg warnings

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

Currently, the cast of the first argument to cmpxchg_emu_u8() drops the
__percpu address-space designator, which results in sparse complaints
when applying cmpxchg() to per-CPU variables in ARC.  Therefore, use
__force to suppress these complaints, given that this does not pertain
to cmpxchg() semantics, which are plently well-defined on variables in
general, whether per-CPU or otherwise.
