[PATCH 4.4 44/44] ARM: 9122/1: select HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9d417cbe36eee7afdd85c2e871685f8dab7c2dba upstream.

tglx notes:
This function [futex_detect_cmpxchg] is only needed when an
architecture has to runtime discover whether the CPU supports it or
not. ARM has unconditional support for this, so the obvious thing to
do is the below.

Fixes linkage failure from Clang randconfigs:
kernel/futex.o:(.text.fixup+0x5c): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_JUMP24 against `.init.text'
and boot failures for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.
