[PATCH 4.9 14/41] arm64: Remove redundant mov from LL/SC cmpxchg

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx>

commit 8df728e1ae614f592961e51f65d3e3212ede5a75 upstream.

The cmpxchg implementation introduced by commit c342f78217e8 ("arm64:
cmpxchg: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU") performs
an apparently redundant register move of [old] to [oldval] in the
success case - it always uses the same register width as [oldval] was
originally loaded with, and is only executed when [old] and [oldval] are
known to be equal anyway.

The only effect it seemingly does have is to take up a surprising amount
of space in the kernel text, as removing it reveals:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
12426658	1348614	4499749	18275021	116dacd	vmlinux.o.new
12429238	1348614	4499749	18277601	116e4e1	vmlinux.o.old
