Subject: [PATCH -next] riscv: Enable ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG

From: Pu Lehui <pulehui@...wei.com>

The implement of cmpxchg() in riscv is based on atomic primitives and
has NMI-safe features, so it can be used safely in the in_nmi context.
ftrace's ringbuffer relies on NMI-safe cmpxchg() in the NMI context.
Currently, in_nmi() is true when riscv kprobe is in trap-based mode, so
this config needs to be selected, otherwise kprobetrace will not be
available.
