[RFC PATCH] ARM: cmpxchg: define __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG for armv6 and later

[yong.zhang0@gmail.com (Yong Zhang)]

From: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang@windriver.com>

Both pi_stress and sigwaittest in rt-test show performance gain with
__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. Testing result on coretile_express_a9x4:

pi_stress -p 99 --duration=300 (on linux-3.4-rc5; bigger is better)
  vanilla:     Total inversion performed: 5493381
  patched:     Total inversion performed: 5621746

sigwaittest -p 99 -l 100000 (on linux-3.4-rc5-rt6; less is better)
  3.4-rc5-rt6: Min   24, Cur   27, Avg   30, Max   98
  patched:     Min   19, Cur   21, Avg   23, Max   96
