This chunk doesn't belong here.  It's the change I've made while
applying your earlier patch.  Dropping this part.

Relocated xchg and cmpxchg ops so that they're first grouped by
preemption safeness and put them after this_cpu_add_return() and
friends.

Noted this in the patch description.

Thanks.
