[PATCH v3 4/4] x86/uaccess: Fix implicit cast of __user pointer

[Jann Horn]

The first two arguments of __user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() are:

 - `uval` is a kernel pointer into which the old value should be stored
 - `ptr` is the user pointer on which the cmpxchg should operate

This means that casting `uval` to `__typeof__(ptr)` is wrong. Since `uval`
is only used once inside the macro, just get rid of __uval and use `(uval)`
directly.
