[PATCH] asm-generic: fix compilation failure in cmpxchg_double()

From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Wed Mar 22 2017 - 07:11:13 EST


Arnd reported that the new code leads to compilation failures
with some versions of gcc. I've filed gcc issue 72873,
but we need a kernel fix as well.

Remove instrumentation from cmpxchg_double() for now.
